PANDA-MANIA POETRY and THANKFUL

Twelve-hundred pounds of bamboo to feed,
That many apples and carrots we'll need.

Icy-cold colorful popsicles, too.

For the big panda party at the National Zoo.

A pool to play in ~ can we have snow on the ground?

Tall trees for climbing and big balls to roll round.

Our special guests soon arrive, Qing Bao and Bao Li.

Welcome ~ Giant Pandas ~ to Washington, DC. 

What fun today to join Sam's Poetry Corner at

TWO SPOILED CATS
