From Canada, the hubby went
To Florida on a biz trip.
When he got there - an email sent

As a chimp I ponder, I do,
All the windows between me and
The humans at Lincoln Park Zoo.
Human kids do, I understand,
...

The U.S. history is filled
With veterans of peace and war.
So much of service life has spilled,
Called to duty for time and more.
...

Sitting Bull to the white world came
In Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
The cause of Custer's Last Stand fame
Believed he could help peace to grow,
...

Joseph, Chief of Wallawa band
Of the Nez Perce in Oregon.
Wallawa Valley was their land,
That white man did invade upon.
...

Called the Fetterman massacre,
For Captain Fetterman who led
Eighty soldiers to their doom sure.
Smarter warriors left all dead.

Myra, lioness, lived and died
At her home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
She had known time of mothered pride,
Her cubs moving on as cubs do.

'Emily's Bridge' in Stowe, Vermont.
Who was Emily is not known.
Emily's ghost is said to haunt,
As dusk turns into darkness zone.

Glass separates gorillas from
The humans so that each can view
Each other safely - that's how come,
Here home at the Lincoln Park Zoo,

'Bath time, ' says Mama kangaroo.
Junior kangaroo starts to whine,
'Oh Mama, please, I don't want to, '
'I like being dirty just fine.'
