The Great Escape

The keeper snapped and flew into a rage
His anger clearly brought the man undone
He wandered angrily from cage to cage
And as he went, he unlocked every one
Two pachyderm rang out their bold escape
The lions ate four tourists on the way
A leopard formed a friendship with an ape
The hippos came along to join the fray
The President phoned in, his language blue
"Enlist the army's help" was his command
"And get the seals, marines and navy too"
I want all beasts removed from off this land
An hour was all it took 'til they were dead
The snipers came and shot them in the head.

Author Notes
Perhaps a 50 minute challenge was not the best vehicle for my first ever attempt at a sonnet - but here it is lol
