Zipping Thru Z's




 
                                                                                  

     
  Zeke contemplated the finale, 
Zig-zagging through A to Y.
Zealous in pursuit of letter Z,
Zany images appeared before his eyes.

Zebras viewing humans behind bars,
Zoos displaying "Don't feed mankind" signs.
Zebus with hump reduction scars,
Zounds abounds with nonsensical finds.

Zeppelin transporting all the hosts.
Zooming in on those with incompletes.
Zenith Zoysia sprouting along the coast,
Zeke's a hero who knows zero about defeat.

Zip-lining across the World Wide Web,
Zombies in Zoot suits swooping in for clues.
Zeus' Zodiac fleet descends upon his bed,
Zonked out on Z-Pak waging war as he snoozed.
