When we were kids we
Used to go to the zoo
And look at the animals.
One of our favorites
Was a boat in the center
Of a pool of water. It
Must have had fifteen
Monkeys on board,
Probably wishing they
Knew how to swim.
Tag: probably
Trains
Late at night while lying
In bed I hear the plaintive
Sounds of train whistles
In the distance. They come
To railroad crossings and
Blow their horns or whistles,
Whatever you want to call
It. Lives have probably been
Saved by those loud jarring
Horns reminding people
Not to try to get across the
Tracks before the train gets
There.
