Ima Ryma Poems

The dwarf mongoose is looking at
The keeper who is looking back.
Peek a boo in the habitat
For which the mongoose has a knack.
...

Amare, the gorilla, is
Sitting still upon a tree stump,
Adroit with acrobatic biz,
Balanced upon his feet and rump.
...

Mario, the pied tamarin,
Spies a keeper wanting to take
A picture, so the imp within
Mario urges him to make
...

"I'm 3 - I'll dance if I want to! "
Says Rae, the giraffe, stepping high
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Lots of groovy moves in supply.
...

The hens do decoop, the hens do,
To greet a brand new morning day
At the Farm in Lincoln Park Zoo,
To mix their time 'tween work and play.
...

It is a rainy spring day that
The red wolf pack decides to do
Exploring through the habitat
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
...

On a stroll is muddy Maku.
The rhino loves to roll in mud
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Three thousand pounds, he makes a thud
...

The vet does make a visit to
Let the ponies get to know her,
At the Farm in Lincoln Park Zoo.
She brings some treats to help for sure.
...

Ricko is playing a game to
Keep his big boomer ball away,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
From keepers who might dare to play.
...

Just hanging out, Luigi is.
The sloth is sprawled out on a limb,
And is just minding his own biz
When a keeper starts feeding him.
