Here's how it got started:

LINDA L WROTE:
In Covington, LA there's a shelter
that saves many dogs from the welter,
More money is needed
to keep them all feeded
To Zootoo we go - gotta skelter!

AND:
I live with a friend I call Izzy,
Who's funny and furry and frizzy.
She's a bright little torti,
Who's always been sporty,
And races and plays 'til she's dizzy!

AND CHALLENGED LISA J, WHO WROTE:

So Linda L, you asked for this,
the challenge is on, don't be remiss!

You wrote a ditty,
about your kitty,
I must admit that it was cute!
and my laughter became a hoot!

Can't wait to see what you have next
and when you pen it,send me a text!

AND LINDA L WROTE:
There once was a vet who was clever.
"A poet?" she thought, "oh me, never!"
But each day while she worked,
Her mind went berserk,
And her words began rhyming forever!

ETH911 JOINED IN AND WROTE:

I'm in:

My house is a mess
so is my desk
but I can't stand to be #2
It will be much more fun
when this contest is won
so I'll keep logging on to ZooToo.

AND LINDA L WROTE:
An orange and white tabby named Sunny
Fills my life with affection and honey.
He loves to be squeezed And with petting he's pleased. He's my charming and sweet Sunny-Bunny.

AND THIS WONDERFUL POEM BY JERRI B. WAS POSTED:

Once upon a time
There was a little ant.
All the larger ants,
Named him "Little Cant".
They thought because he was so small
He couldnt carry much at all.
But little did they know, at night, theyd sleep, he'd grow.
And do the work the others left,
But never did he tell
That he was best among the rest,
But far behind he fell.
Others teased, and laughed at him,
Friends were hard to find.
Through the night he kept on working
To keep others out of bind.

Until the flood when waters came
And washed the hill to ground.
The ant proclaimed,
"There is a bridge,follow me" out loud.
So others swam behind "Little Cant",
And nightfall quickly came
And he began to GROW as they reached the bridge
The others had not seen.

And all the ants were saved
As they peered upon their mound.
Standing on the bridge
When they could have easily drowned.

"How'd you get so big? How'd you build this bridge?"
They asked, staring at the ant.

"My little insects," he said,
"You made me, when you told me that I cant."
