Ima Ryma Poems

As a trumpeter swan I do
Trumpet the joy of winter found,
Enveloping Lincoln Park Zoo,
Where all and I are snowy downed.
...

Eurasian lynxes, sisters two,
Jillian and Mirka at home,
Hanging out at Lincoln Park Zoo,
South of the Lion House, we roam.
...

Two thousand fourteen is the year
Of the horse so say the Chinese,
But worldwide, fortunetellers gear
Up to sell humans on foresees.
...

An axolotl I am named.
I live in Lake Xochimilco.
To the Aztecs, I was quite famed
As god Xolotl - doncha know,
...

Earth is billions of years old.
Humans are relatively new
Occupants, if truth be told,
And bad occupants - yes tiz true!
...

A hundred years old in the year
Two thousand fourteen - golly gee.
A seasoned soul of seasons dear,
The Windy City's gem you be.
...

The PGA on its website
Announced another hole in one.
Gus Andreone drove it just right.
Ball into cup, an ace was done.
...

A leaf cutter ant I am known,
Cuz I eat leaves for my good queen,
And all her colony that's grown,
Thanks to the chomping of the green.
...

Krampus is a creature from hell,
Horns and fangs and smelly dark fur,
Carries a stick and clangs a bell,
Seasonal bad Santa for sure.
...

Ben Franklin was a late night guy,
In Paris on some biz and fun,
Woke up to a bright sunny sky,
At 6 a.m. - what had he done!
...
