Chewing Machine - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

This sloth is busy on a chew
Of a yummy celery stick
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Rather than slow I am quite quick.
I hold the stick of celery
Very firmly in my two toes.
Placing it where it needs to be,
And into my mouth the stick goes,
Where my teeth are ready to gnaw
At a very rapid chop pace,
Working kind of like a buzz saw,
As I go 'bout feeding my face.

I shift my teeth into high gears,
And the celery disappears.
