Black stripes on white

We did take the Lion Country Safari trip yesterday.  We did not take the convertible.  We rented a zebra striped fifteen passenger van for four of us.  We did not get pecked by ostriches.  We did not play chicken with the rhinos.  We determined the zebras were black stripes on white by looking at where the stripes ended on their rears.  It was impossible to look at them underneath.


Yesterday we saw the animals
After we rented
The zebra-striped van.
The stripes
Were black on white.
They matched the zebras
In the largest zebra herd
Outside of Africa.
Black stripes
On white.
We traveled slower
Than the CD tour
Expected.
We never did find the stop button
On the CD player.
Eventually we turned it off.
The car in front of us,
Fed the ostriches.
The car in front of us
Played chicken
With the rhinos.
We looked at zebra markings.
We determined the stripes
Were black on white.       
Ours was a tamer tour.
We did not get up close and personal
With the animals
Who live there.
