Ima Ryma Poems

Mr. and Mrs. Blyth hornbill,
A couple at Lincoln Park Zoo.
The Missus henpecks me until
I bring a fig for her to chew.
...

The story of Noah's Ark tells
Of God deciding to redo,
So sends a big flood that dispels
All life but saves samples of two,
...

I am Ricko the rhino who
Is rarely seen being outside,
Here home at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
Where keepers keep me occupied,
...

I am called Cleo, the sand cat,
Purring at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
In the Small Mammal habitat,
Prob'ly napping - that's what I do.
...

Ever since a human first saw
A zebra, the human has asked
Why the stripes? So far no 'ah hah! '
Has come from all the studies tasked.
...

February second once more.
Calendar sez Groundhog Day tiz.
I, Punxsutawney Phil, show for
A few seconds of pure show biz.
...

What does a rhino fam'ly do
During winter in Chicago,
Outside in the Lincoln Park Zoo?
Spend quality time in the snow.
...

A white lipped deer, I've got lips white.
Me and the Missus, we both do.
But you'll know it's me when you sight
My antlers at Lincoln Park Zoo.
...

As a snow monkey gal, I do
Wish to warn human females that
When visiting Lincoln Park Zoo,
Don't wear red near my habitat.
...

The gold swift moth does play the game
Of love acrobatically.
Smorgasbord moves of mating aim,
Both male and female equal be.
...
