Dad Meets Son - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

I am Jabari, I am Dad.
This lion king has met his prince.
My heir apparent I have had,
Giving to me a prideful sense.
Behind the scenes the young prince is,
Being cared for by Mom quite well,
Learning basics of lion biz,
Amazing me with show and tell.
The two of us now more and more
Do some face to face now and then.
We share some paw wave and some roar,
Getting acquainted in the den.

Soon you can meet my young prince too
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
