December 6, 2007
After yesterday I really needed to clear my head so I went to the Zoo. It was cloudy and very cool. It was also quite deserted so I enjoyed my amble very much. My spirits were lifted by the time I returned home.

It's warm and fuzzy,
Dontcha know,
To snuggle me,
The big Serow.

I'll make you laugh
With any luck.
I'll imitate
A Devil Duck.

I know I'm just
A squirrel, but
I'll gladly share
With you a nut.

I like to fly
From tree to tree,
So hop the fence
And jump with me.

Oh, he's too reckless,
Silly fellow.
He should relax,
Chill out and mellow.

Come play with us
If you're not busy.
We'll try not
To make you dizzy.

Two are company.
Three are fun.
So come on in.
Lunch has begun.

And if I cannot
Find my hoard,
I'll share with you
My tasty gourd.

Hey! Hop that fence now.
Yes indeed.
A game of soccer's
What you need.

Well we play Tag.
We run so fast,
That we can't tell
Who's first, who's last.

Be sure to see me -
Joe Giraffe.
I promise I will
Make you laugh!

And just be glad that
You're not me.
Cuz I'm in here,
And you are FREE!
