Petrified
Petriified
A day at Chester Zoo
happy and carefree
full of interest
A variety of animals
abounded for all
to see and wonder
A large cage
housed many
monkeys who made
a horrendous din
We peered in curiously
as they too were curious
They shrieked
then a little girl
crawled close to
the cage
She was gripped
by a frenzied monkey
He shook her violently
men rushed to
extracate her which
they did
A happy and carefree day
marred by a scene of horror

must have been really frightening, no wonder the memory stuck with you. we returned from Wales yesterday, and considered calling in at Chester Zoo on the way home. I'm glad we never now, although from what I gather they do have a good reputation on safety.
cheers kevin
