Sunny Day

NC ZOO

With little effort we were
Off to the zoo.
Promises made to see
The giraffes first.
And Mommy wanted
To see the bears.

Too hot for April
The crowded park
Bustled and crushed
At times then gave way to
Clear views of
Slumbering creatures.

A four hour trek from
Africa to North America
And a rapid ride back
To the car in a
Zebra-striped shuttle.
Exquisite excursion.
