A BUSCH GARDENS CHRISTMAS TALE OF 2015<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Twas the night before Christmas, the park closed for the day. <\/div>\n
Not a creature was stirring, and the kids could no longer play.<\/div>\n
The stockings were all present, each animal had one,<\/div>\n
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon to them come.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The distant Serengeti, where the rhinos do roam,<\/div>\n
Kisiri looks at Kyota, knowing Santa will come;<\/div>\n
Jasiri rests deeply, for only in sleep will she know,<\/div>\n
That a treat will be waiting, even without the snow.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The moon was bright above, nary a cloud in sight.<\/div>\n
The park brightly lit, by the Christmastown lights<\/div>\n
A distant red light, floated against the bright moon.<\/div>\n
And was coming ever nearer, like a camera with it’s zoom.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Then there was a jingling, a sound that does not belong,<\/div>\n
And Simon roared with meaning, for he knew who has come.<\/div>\n
The sky just got brighter, and the air felt just right,<\/div>\n
He has come to Busch Gardens, with his full corncob pipe.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A jolly old fellow, dressed in red and bright white,<\/div>\n
With a belt black as coal, and his belly pulled in tight.<\/div>\n
He lands in Pantopia, the center of it all,<\/div>\n
Got out of the sleigh, ready to start having a ball.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Hi Bzui, hi Mata, Bundar and Cinta.<\/div>\n
Hi Zahra, and Sohan, Charisse and Bala!<\/div>\n
The tigers are here, beautiful creatures they are,<\/div>\n
But not limited to them, I am here for you all.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Jungala he starts, with the Congo nearby,<\/div>\n
Then Egypt he does hit, passing Nairobi on the fly.<\/div>\n
Gorillas, Cheetahs, and Penguins, with joy he does see,<\/div>\n
And checked on Cobra’s Curse, soon he will ride it with glee.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Edge of Africa he goes, a family second to none,<\/div>\n
And looks over at Kita, my how she has grown.<\/div>\n
The lions are next, as are the meerkats and babes,<\/div>\n
Always a changing site, that he sees on this day.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The babies he visits, for he knows what to do,<\/div>\n
And sees the young wildebeest, not one but two.<\/div>\n
The gazelle are all roaming, and then he takes note,<\/div>\n
The baby Grant’s Gazelle, newly born with such hope<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The elephants sound off, with their trunks in the air,<\/div>\n
And the birds all take flight, as the Flamingoes do stare.<\/div>\n
Not a creature was missed, this welcoming night,<\/div>\n
Even the reptiles were seen, it all felt just right.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
When the old man was finished, with the gifts and the cheer,<\/div>\n
He knew something was missing, to end out his year.<\/div>\n
He looked to the left, and then back to the right,<\/div>\n
Then looked at Falcon’s Fury, for this he must ride.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
#FalconFace Santa, to twitter he did post,<\/div>\n
A picture full of beard, as he dived down up close<\/div>\n
Cheetah Hunt and Montu, with Shiekra next in line.<\/div>\n
He enjoyed the thrill of Kumba, as he finished for the night.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Busch Gardens this year, was as fun as the past,<\/div>\n
but what is coming soon, will be sure to be a blast.<\/div>\n
He packs up his sleigh, and to Rudolph he says,<\/div>\n
“Lets head on to Sea World, for we still want to play.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Santa shouts loudly, as the reindeer ready to go,<\/div>\n
“Busch Gardens is festive, as Christmastown does show.<\/div>\n
Be kind to them all, both the two legs and the four,<\/div>\n
And wish them a greeting, when next you do tour!”<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
As the sleigh lifts to the sky, and starts fading from sight,<\/div>\n
You can hear the distant cheer, from a man in red and white.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
THE ANIMALS WE ALL LOVE, AND WE SEE THEM EVERY DAY,<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, TO BUSCH GARDENS I DO SAY!!!!<\/div>\n
