this place is a zoo

the zoo
keeper drops his keys
one night
and the monkeys make a run,
going from
cage to cage to let
out their friends.
there is a stampede.
elephants,
giraffes, zebras and tigers.
they disperse into the woods
along rock creek
park. but the monkeys
stop first for a beer
at the zoo bar,
where you sit
and listen to the Dixieland
band.
monkeys love music,
keeping beat
with both feet
and hands, each hardly
different.
