Aruba Duet - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Aruba rattlesnakes we be,
Liking to slither in the sand,
Scaling out the locality
Hither and yon, no bounds be planned.
We snuggle close to help keep warm.
Our bodies need outside heat.
And when together, any harm
Is easier to double beat.
We give a rattle to make known
That we are close and so beware.
We can take a venomous tone
With nasty bites that we can share.

We rock, rattle and roll, we do
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
