Zoo Keeper Life

As the Koalas are in their slumber on the edge of the branch.
Their light grey hair blows in the air.
I open my eyes to see the koalas playing in the avalanche.
The eucalyptus leaves fall on my knees from the air.
I used to be more excited to do my job.
Now, most of the animals are getting old and slow.
That part of my life makes me sob.
I need to keep the flow.
So I can keep my job so the Zoo isn’t a Slob.
Stopping at each animal around the zoo.
Checking their cages and blowing my nose.
Starting to pick up their Poo.
Watching all the birds fly up high as the sun goes.
