Ima Ryma Poems

An Amur leopard, that is me.
I am called Mitya and am male.
Lincoln Park Zoo is where I be.
Born in 2000, cute with tale.
...

For eons a great mountain peak,
When Zebulon Pike, winter time,
'Discovered' it first, so to speak,
In 1806. Why not climb

Butter, the bunny, bids farewell
To the Farm in Lincoln Park Zoo,

My mother-in-law lived with us.
So I got used to her shrill voice,
Aimed at me with a lot of cuss.

Keo, the chimpanzee, came to
Chicago back in '59.
A babe in the Lincoln Park Zoo,
Where humans came, line after line.

A platform from which it can hunt.
Sea ice was and now is not there.
Greenhouse gases get the blame brunt.
...

Or is it for some public good?
Whenever storm chasing is done,
Death might not be the end, but could.
...

The T.V. houses that we see,
The outsides never seem to match
The insides - a perplexity.
Ah, plots that Hollywood does hatch.
...

I am Optimus Prime - O.P.
Transforming the Lincoln Park Zoo,
An Ah- to be beaut chimpanzee,
Improving Earth - tiz what I do.
...

Archie Bunker, hoarder of hate,
Got very lucky with his choice
Of Edith as his wedded mate.
Not prettiest in look or voice,
...
