THE FUNNY ZOO

The zoo was pretty and had many cages,
> In some cages there were two animals,
> In some cages, one animal tearfully roamed,
> There were cages were several of them were packed.
> All these animals had very white hairs,
> They had sunken chins and not so soft skins,
> The eyes of most of them were moist always,
> Their eyes were also staring at a far off point,
> There was great expectation in them,
> Expectation of some visitor dear to them,
> Or even an expectation of sudden painless death.
>
> The visitors to this funny zoos were only few,
> They came once in a while either on week ends,
> Or annual vacations from a far off land,
> They never bothered to see all animals,
> But went to a single cage and smiled,
> A smile that was not honest nor happy,
> Strangely some visitors brought gifts,
> To these lonely animals that were old,.
> But one thing was sure and certain,
> These visitors were in a hurry to leave.
> They fled from these zoos as if it is poison.
> For the animals in those dreary zoos,
> Were animals that fed them breast milk ,
> When they were hungry and when they cried.."
> These were the animals that worked till it hurt,
> So that these visitors went to a good school,
> These were the animals which loved and fed them,
> And did not take food when this visitor was hungry.
>
> That evening was great for the animal who had a visitor,
> For in the dreary dinner table with plates in their hand,
> With unwholesome and unloved food , they bragged,
> "You know he visited me and brought me a camera,
> An old laptop and an unused cell phone,"
> An animal in another cage laughed and asked,
> "Are they going to bury them along with you?"
