Escape From - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A kangaroo is born to jump
Out and about Lincoln Park Zoo.
I am a pain in keepers' rump,
So higher fence is what they'd do.
The more I got out, higher went
The fence to try to keep me in.
'Jump higher than that, ' keepers vent.
But that fence can't jump, I just grin.
And after, I'm out and about.
Keepers are in frustrated state.
There is a solution no doubt.
The keepers could just lock the gate.

As a babe I was lazy, so
Mom called me a pouch potato.
