I have never really liked zoos
Its is all bit cruel I think
One minute you are out in the bush
Eating Swiss tourists
And next you are in some fucking zoo
With millions of kids taking photographs of your arse
But Dennis and Deidre love zoos
And nag Jayne and Billy No Mates
To take them there
Forty fucking quid
I only want to look at the animal not buy it
But Daddy we can adopt a piranha
What a fucking rip off
Adopt a piranha
Yes we get two photographs a year and a card on our birthdays
This said at least my children behave
Which is quite refreshing
As other peoples little fuckers are everywhere
In the tiger compound scaring the poor creatures
Stealing peacock feathers and flogging them to idiots like me
Chucking their toys and sandwiches into the rare fish aquariums
Funnel Webs do not get me started on Funnel Webs
I have not used a zoo toilet since 1958
But it could be worse
As I could be an Australian who likes a nuclear curry or two
Imagine this you are sitting in the bog with raging diarrhea
You have been sitting there for four days
The only thing that you have not passed is your tongue
And then you see a dusky Funnel Web down the pan
What would you do is the eternal question
When I was a kid there used to be an elephant at Bristol Zoo
It was a bad tempered beast and because of this
I thought it would be funny to fart on Rosie during a ride
That did not go down well with Rosie
And the next thing I knew was that I was flying
Over the Clifton Suspension Bridge
Having previously collided with a Sputnik
I suppose it was a rite of passage
But I could not sit down for a week
