First Snow - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Red panda cubs - tiz time to go
Outside at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
And play for first time in the snow.
For sis and bro this game is new.
The stuff is white and cold and slick,
But does not make a sound or smell.
Of course we gave it a good lick,
But as a snack - snow's not that swell.
We rolled around in snow and felt
The chilly flakes on our fur.
But then the snow did quickly melt,
And left us dripping wet for sure.

But snow is great - wanna know why?
Cuz bamboo treats are stuck nearby.
