#51: The World's Smallest Zoo

She kept it in the case for her contact lenses.
Under an electron microscope
you could just make out a sort of horse,
another horse,
and a grey shape that hinted at sentience.

Elspeth (for that was our zookeeper's name)
charged $1000 a peep.
As soon as she had made $3000, she closed the zoo forever,
and bought herself a plasma screen TV,
plus some lawnchairs.

The animals perished.
