Trapped in a Zoo


You put a bird in a cage,

And you told him to fly in the sky.

You popped a boy’s balloon,

And told him not to cry.

 

You put a fish in a tank,

And told him to swim in the sea.

You told a boy to think big,

But then you crushed all his dreams.

 

But the worst thing you did,

And you really did stumble.

You trapped a lion in a zoo,

And told him it was a jungle.
