Whacked-Out Zoo

What do you know? It’s a whacked-out zoo.
With strange, furry animals,
and a hairless gnu.
Beware of flying hippos, and crazy emus,
the monkeys are proper, ’cause they haven’t a clue.

In the Water

Cartoon of a boy and a shark. The shark says, “Hey, Buddy! Let me know when you’re going to get in the water, okay?”

I read an article today about shark attacks in Australia. It reminded me of stories where authorities cautioned people to stay out of the water during sunup or sundown. It made me think about sharks that are so obnoxious, they could ask for a heads up from unsuspecting individuals.

If a shark speaks to you, run the other way!

I thought this would also work for Illustration Friday’s word for this week. It’s “scary.”
