I Love the Petting Zoo (3)

Brian Looney

    I love the petting zoo, the feeding ranch, the husbandry. Christmas comes but once a year. The petting zoo is life. And oh the stories we can tell!

    I love the petting zoo, the breeding farm, the ranch collective. Like a close-knit family: some will misbehave, while others get along; some will turn defiant, while others will conform. But we tolerate them all, out of our inherent goodness. We reprimand the wild ones, we curb their nasty tempers.

    I love the petting zoo, the family ranch, the podunk den. Stop outside and twirl around. Twirl around and sally in. Sally in and stay a spell. Stay a spell and spread your crumbs. Spread your crumbs and pet the zoo. Pet the zoo and tell your friends.

    I love the petting zoo, the pissing pens, the sprawl of domesticity. A peaceful interaction, tolerant and mutual, happy and harmonious. Relish their attention. They are healthy and robust. Better than the city zoo.
