Billy woke up with a smile so wide, Today was zoo day, oh what a ride! He packed a lunch with peanut butter and jelly, And gave a cheer that jiggled his belly.

He skipped and hopped to the zoo with glee, Singing songs as happy as can be. 'I’m off to see the animals, yes siree, The elephants, lions, and even a bee!'

At the gate, a monkey named Cheeky was waving, 'Come on in, Billy! The animals are craving To see a young friend like you today, Let’s jump and laugh and dance and play!'

First stop was the elephants, tall and grand, They wiggled and wagged their trunks like a band. 'Join us, Billy, in our trunk-tastic song!' Billy danced and sang along.

Next, the lions roared, ‘Hear us roar!' As birds above began to soar. ‘Come play,’ they called, from their manes so thick, ‘Roaring games will do the trick!’

Billy laughed and roared, 'Roar roar roar!' Then skipped to see the birds some more. Parrots in colors red, green, and blue, Said, 'Polly wanna play with you!'

Up next were the penguins in their tuxedo wear, They slid on the ice without a care. ‘Join our waddle, slide and glide’ Billy slid and waddled by their side.

Giraffes munching leaves so high in the sky, Billy craned his neck to say hi. 'We’ve got the best views, you see, Won’t you climb and look with me?'

Billy climbed up and saw the zoo, With animals, friends, and fun times too. ‘The zoo is magical,’ Billy did exclaim, ‘It’s a place where friends call out your name.’

As the day ended, Billy did say, 'Thank you, friends, for a perfect day!' The animals waved as he skipped away, Dreaming of zoo adventures another day.

Home in bed, Billy closed his eyes, Remembering his friends who are fun and wise. ‘Tomorrow will bring more fun, oh dears, With the zoo friends who bring cheers!’

Billy’s dreams were filled with delight, Of the zoo ‘neath stars so bright. And with a whisper soft as a breeze, He drifted off, content and pleased.
