We Bought a Zoo

  We bought a zoo. A zoo filled with men women and yes a few animals. We are not too sure if the men need more cages or the women. Animals? No, they aren't harmful. They just need some love, loads of food and some potty training. The women, ah they need leashes to keep them tied to the corner of their cages so that they don't claw each other apart. They will growl, throw tantrums, scowl, scream and fuss about the plainness of the leash but we are giving them no choice. They need to learn how to adapt. Some women will adapt but are going to try and change the zoo but such women won't be encouraged. We like the zoo the way it is.

The men you ask? Now, they can't be leashed as they are too strong so we have to tranquillize them all the time. We can't risk broken cages, manipulations, coups, agitations and a mutiny against the zoo. How do we tranquillize you ask? Booze! Plenty of it! We add some fake ego too. Just to keep them subdued and nobody seems to complain. They are enjoying it.

The children you ask? Well they're outside the zoo in the world. Breathing without fear, living with hope, laughing aloud and being children. Careless and free. That’s how they ought to be you know.
