“Snow Zoo,” Friend, Jan. 1988, 19
Snow Zoo
A panda’s living in my yard.
An elephant is too.
A chimpanzee sits near my tree
Beside a kangaroo.
An alligator near my door
Is showing off his teeth.
A lion wears a fluffy mane
That looks just like a wreath.
Now, I’m the zoo caretaker who
Knows how to make them grow
By pressing them and shaping them
From heavy chunks of snow.
