While strolling through the zoo in the city.
Admiring the animals, and flowers so pretty.
somehow a monkey managed to break out.
Sending viewers of all ages just running about.

That monkey was after a child running around.
So, I had to side tackle it down to the ground.
It may have bitten me and put up a good fight.
But I knew that that little boy would be alright.

When the zookeepers came and gave him a shot.
A free pass to the zoo for a year is what I got.
Now that I know how things there are done.
Going to the zoo doesn't sound like much fun.

After learning how that monkey made his escape.
A temporary fix in the net with some duct tape.
A large tree in the monkey pen had overgrown.
Causing a tear in the net covering his home.
