with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel
stand for honesty
are insincere
And the
are kindly but they’re dumb*
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently what a gas
Elephants are not dumb.
Guess where I spent MY entire weekend? I originally thought Mr.’s Simon and Garfunkel would give me the opportunity to upload lots of my pictures. I was wrong. They want animals I don’t have and lack verses for all the ones I’ve got. Tragedy. That’s OK. I massacred their song anyway. (And yes, when you kill every line of two verses, it can properly be called a massacre.)
Jessie Powell is the Jester Queen. She likes to tell you about her dog, her kids, her fiction, and her blog, but not necessarily in that order. |
And you'll notice I've installed Disqus. I'm annoyed with wordpress.
Sounds like you had fun twice over, at the zoo and composing this post! 🙂
I had this stuck in my head the whole time we were there for all of two days. EARWORM!!
Have you considered mangling this to the tune of "Feelin groovy"?
Looks like a fun way to spend the day!
Are the animals well treated there, with enough room?
Haha! Simon and Garfunkel mangled to Simon and Garfunkel. That would be sincerely funky.
I still like what you did with this, Jessie. Very creative. And, I love the photos.
I'm having a ton of fun with my new toy.
