A Zoo Keeper Tale

As dawn breaks, the world awakens,
A new day has just begun.
At the gates of the mighty zoo,
The lively chatter’s begun.
All around, the creatures great and small,
Prepare for a day full of cheer;
For their devoted caretaker,
Is approaching, with love sincere.

The zookeeper greets each animal,
With affection and kindness so true.
He inspects their cozy habitats,
Ensuring the spaces are clean and new.
Feeding time commences at once,
Accurate portions served to all;
For the well-being of his charges,
Is his primary responsibility, after all.

Next on the agenda, stimulation time,
Activities planned for mind and muscle too.
Various objects are strategically placed,
Encouraging curiosity and playful deeds;
Ensuring both mental and physical growth,
As they engage in these fun games;
For each creature thrives on such activities,
As it brings them much joy and no little claims to fame.

Zookeepers also play another role,
Beyond caring for their animal friends;
They educate visitors of all ages,
Sharing tales and stories without end.
About each creature’s unique qualities,
And how we can help protect them too;
Encouraging a deeper appreciation,
For the natural world we share with you.

Regular health check-ups are vital,
To ensure each animal remains well.
The zookeeper performs these tasks carefully,
With expertise beyond compare;
Taking note of any changes or concerns,
And addressing them in a kind way.
For the good health of his charges,
Is paramount for him each day.

Over time, bonds are formed and strengthened,
Between keeper and creature so true;
A mutual trust and understanding,
Grows between them like a loving glue.
Each interaction serves to deepen this bond,
As they share moments of love and care;
For these connections transcend all boundaries,
And bring happiness beyond compare.

As conservation warriors,
Zookeepers carry out their work;
Ensuring the future of many species,
Isn’t lost amidst a world’s bleak murk.
Through breeding programs and awareness events,
They help prevent extinctions and decline;
For these animals deserve our protection,
And we owe them that much at least in time.

As the sun begins to set,
The zookeeper’s day nears its end;
But before leaving for the night,
He ensures all is safe and sound.
A final check on each precious creature,
And a whispered goodnight to each friend;
For their happiness means everything,
As they are his extended family in every sense.

Though the work may be demanding,
The rewards far outweigh the strain.
The joy of witnessing growth and connection,
Between these animals, both tame and wild;
Knowing they’re part of a greater purpose,
And bringing delight to people everywhere;
Is an honor and privilege for each zookeeper,
Who cherishes their role in the intricate web we all share.
