Ent"Ice"Ment - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Stanley, the snowy owl, does do
A weigh in voluntarily,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
As a healthcare activity.
The keepers know that Stanley will
More likely step onto the scale
If Stanley senses a good chill.
So ice is put there in a pail.
Whereupon Stanley hops right on,
With calculation of his weight,
Doing some math phenomenon
To assure Stanley's healthy state.

Of course Stanley does check the ice
To see if there may be some mice.
