Ima Ryma Poems

As a beaver, I like to be
In a lodge that's surrounded by
Water that is just right for me.
No babbling brook for this deep guy.
...

During the day, a bat hangs out,
Hanging upside down during sleep.
And then when night time comes about,
There is no need to upward leap.
...

I am Anana, polar bear,
Spending a bunch of showtime years
At home at Lincoln Park Zoo, where
I've heard the joy of all your cheers.
...

Listen humans and you shall hear
Of Tsavo, Kenya where man did
Make man eating lions appear,
In an encroaching railroad bid.
...

A ring billed gull - that is my name,
And guess where I got that name from.
Yep, a brownish ring does frame
My yellow bill toward the tip some.
...

In a 24 hour day,
A lion likes to snooze a lot,
'Bout 20 hours timers say.
That's my nature - like it or not.
...

I am the growing rhino, King.
By human count I'm one year old.
When born, I was a puny thing,
Just weighing 60 pounds I'm told.
...

The ostrich is the biggest bird,
And the fastest two legged beast.
Head buried in the sand? Absurd!
Human made myth that's never ceased.
...

A kangaroo is born to jump
Out and about Lincoln Park Zoo.
I am a pain in keepers' rump,
So higher fence is what they'd do.
...

Home of the brave, land of the free
Is said to be the U.S.A.
We the People, all peoples be.
A nation of laws, people say.
...
