Animal House

“Lions, and tigers, and bears, Oh My!”
Doesn’t even begin to illustrate this Auschwitz-like Toys R Us dream.
The faces are a complete comfort to stare at after a long, agonizing day.
“Yay! Mommy is back! We love you!”
A family of sitting ducks migrate to nowhere.
A slew of alligators lay quietly and never stalk any prey.
A barrel (or two) of rambunctious orangutans stay calm and collected all day long.
A pride of lions relax peacefully and serenely against the stone colored wall.
A family of emperor penguins gleefully enjoy their non-Artic, mid-temperate location.
Everyone else in between, claims the overloaded wicker chair.

This is my room. My very own house of stuffed animals.
