YOU CAN'T KEEP THE NEWS FROM THE GNUS
by
Gregory K.
The new zookeeper called the zoo’s gnu keeper
And asked, “Have the gnus heard the news?
We’re getting new gnus
From a slew of new zoos
In a deal we just couldn’t refuse.”
The zoo’s gnu keeper told the new zookeeper,
“We needed new gnus at the zoo!
But I’m telling you
When I told each zoo gnu
The new gnu news the gnus said they knew!”
(This has been dubbed "the silliest poem" I've written by someone who has read most everything I've written. I take that as high praise!)
I'm posting an original poem each day in April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and I post all year round, because poetry is NOT just for April!) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".

I wanted to note a few of my other working titles for this poem:
Proof That You Can't Keep News from Gnus
Proof that Gnus Know
Gnus Know News
The News that Gnus Know
The Gnus Know
The Zoo's Gnus' News
And on and on and on. Is it any wonder I love poetry???
I love it! (And your "haircut" poem from yesterday.) You make me laugh!
