The Lazy Beast

Buzzing with excitement

Sweating, eager, and anxious,

I approach among the crowd:

The Lazy Beast.

The buzzing gets louder with each step,

Sweat drips, mouth agape in awe.

His scaly greatness covers the patch of sand on which he lies.

I breath in the sweaty scent of the air as I snap a picture,

A hot day at the Brevard Zoo.
