Katie wants to go to the zoo, See the monkeys swinging, hear lions roar. Penguins waddling, elephants marching, Giraffes towering, snakes slithering. All day she dreams of the animals, Their colors, sounds, movements, so magical. She saves her coins in a piggy bank, Counting down the days with a big thank. Finally the day arrives, pure joy, Off to the zoo with her favorite toy. Running from exhibit to exhibit, Katie feels alive, nothing can inhibit.
