Little sparrow

Little sparrow, where’d you dine?
In the zoo, and that was fine!
First, I dined inside a cage,
Where the lion shows his rage.

With the fox I grabbed a bit.
Walrus' water was real sweet.
With the crane I ate some seed,
With the elephant — some beet.

Was a guest in rhino's den,
There I ate a bit of bran.
Had a feast with long-tailed crews,
That's the name of kangaroos.

Had a festive meal with bear,
He’s so shaggy, strong and fair.
And the crocodile, so sly,
Nearly made me say goodbye!
