The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

PANDAmonium at the zoo!

The parrots are in crisis
The snake’s caused a hullabaloo
The giraffe is in a pickle
It’s mayhem at the zoo!

Who kicked off this riot?
Who thinks that horseplay’s fun?
All paws point towards the pandas
It’s PANDAmonium

About the Writer


Tom Owen

Tom is a barrister who likes to escape from his busy day job by writing songs and poetry for (and with) his two young boys. His poems focus on anything that can capture his boys’ imagination. So, knights, exotic animals and absurdist adventures feature heavily. It is his ambition to one day publish a book of children’s poetry.
