Ima Ryma Poems

Giant Armadillo am I,
And what I like the best to eat,
I am the first to clarify,
Termites are my favorite treat,
...

St. Francis of Assisi heard
And saw all nature had to give,
And sought to try by deed and word,
A better way for all to live.

At the Farm in Lincoln Park Zoo.

To buzz about for honey do.

There's warming, degree by degree.
And more and more of them unfold -
Mosquitoes in the Arctic be

New hatched Chilean flamingo,
I guess I am a big to do.
An incubation made it so,
First chick hatched at Lincoln Park Zoo.
...

Tiz on The View that pettiness
Is the dish that is oft dished out,
Stirring into a pool of cess,
Where chunky chicks do flail about.

Multi colored from tail to head

Black and white and yellow and red.

Shikaakwa was a stinky plant
In Miami/Illinois land.
When other food sources were scant,
'Twas eaten by the tribal band.

The Marshall Field's Department Store,
In Chicago's Loop on State Street
Got a big Norman Rockwell score,
'The Clock Mender' did time entreat.

World Rhino Day the humans do
To try to help us rhinos live.
Home here at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
I am proud for a part to give.
