At The Zoo With Scooby-Doo

NCiR Prompt: At The Zoo

By Velma Dinkley

Me and Scooby-Doo Rode down to the zoo We took Shaggy too

It was nice to see the animals Not just monsters and those cannibals

One monkey was quite funky

But the bear seemed not to care

A short giraffe made me laugh

One lion looked Hawaiian

A hippie named Zippy, said the zebra was a libra

The Leopard’s spots were peppered

The llama was a new Mama

The otter looked like Mr. Kotter

The Panda reminded me of my friend Amanda

A cheetah was eating a pita (I think Shaggy was responsible.)

A kangaroo jumped at Scooby-Doo (and Shaggy too)

A ring-tailed lemur was a screamer He escaped his cage and bit my femur

I thought I might be dead But just in time, to the scene of the crime, Came my rescuers Daphne and Fred

That was our final cue Just one thing left to do

We looked around without a clue Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you?
