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