Ima Ryma Poems

Oriental fire-bellied toad,
I do a belly up I do,
If I do get a threatened goad
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
...

Trumpeter swans need help, they do,
To build their numbers in the wild.
Help does come from Lincoln Park Zoo,
So nature might be reconciled.

Harry and Joe stop by to eat
At a diner, and put their coats
On a rack and then take a seat.

He has the basement to himself.
I worry what he's come to be,
Hate on his mind, guns on his shelf.

Madame LaLaurie, southern belle,
In her New Orleans mansion threw
Great lavish parties known so well,
An 1830's do to do.

A Jack O lantern's found its way
Into my habitat to make
A Happy Halloween display
In the home of this rattlesnake.

The music from a violin.
So when some young humans played near,
I took each and ev'ry note in.

And that means ready be my lunch.
Ah yes, my salad does appear,
And I of course begin to munch.

Come and kick with a kangaroo,
Kick in the sense of hanging out.
Time and place - the Lincoln Park Zoo,
Get a kick out of it, no doubt.
...

Critterlandia - a review.
Animals - the book is about,
And some of wondrous stuff some do.
This book is full of fun, no doubt!
