The Zookeeper's High Jinks

Upon the dawn, the sun does shine,
A zookeeper strolls, feeling quite fine.
With a little too much love from the green grass,
He enters the zoo, ready for sass.

He greets the lions with a lazy “What’s up?”
While tossing them snacks from a comically large cup.
"Don’t you all worry, just be cool and chill,"
As he giggles and slips on a spilled banana peel.

The monkeys all laugh, they sense the vibe,
As he fumbles their food like a newbie bribe.
“Hey, guys, let’s play tag, or maybe charades?”
But the only response are their cheeky cascades.

With a sandwich for lunch that he thought was a hat,
He sits with the rhinos, feeling quite phat.
“Look at the colors, they’re dancing around!”
As the rhinos just stare, clearly quite ‘zoned’.

Next, off to the birds, who flock by his side,
“Tweet me a tune!” he shouts with much pride.
Yet flapping their wings, they all take flight,
While he thinks they’re just chatting and having a bite.

As sunset approaches, the day must conclude,
His panda pals yawn, in a sleepy mood.
“Tomorrow I’ll come, with snacks in my mind,
But tonight, I’ll chill... and be one with the grind.”

So here’s to the zookeeper, high as a kite,
With a heart full of giggles and eyes shining bright.
May your days be filled with laughter and cheer,
And perhaps a short nap, with no lion near!
