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.
...

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

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.
...

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

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!
...

Australia was a new found land,
That Europeans did explore.
A beast they could not understand,
Did have a pouch and hopped galore.
...

I am an Asian small clawed otter,
Here at home at Lincoln Park Zoo.
I'll be playing in the water
At the small mammal house for you.
