Side by side
Nose to fence
They stand in awe
And suspense:
Here’s a duck
There’s a mouse.
Is the red thing
Their house?
What do animals
Eat?
Not small children?
Just treats?
From their safe
Vantage point
The zoo does not
Disappoint.
And they admire
The goose
Glad its not
On the loose.

I like your photo and accompanying poem. You have really captured the enthusiasm and curiosity of small children at the zoo.

Thanks, Suzanne. Three quarters of the delight of going places with children is being witness to their delight. 🙂

Lovely and sweet – and I guess a necessary fence as well! Love the poem too.

In that petting zoo, I think that the fence is as much to protect the animals for too-zealous-little-hands than it is to protect the children from the geese and ducks … 😉 But yes, necessary for sure. 🙂
