Going Steady - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Annie here, pygmy hippo who
Is diving for some fresh browse that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Keepers put in my habitat.
Yes, I need to keep my strength up,
Being wooed by Pogo, boyfriend,
Who's trying to wear me down, yup.
He is a charmer to no end.
But I'm taking my time to be
Sure that Pogo is Mr. Right.
Just wish he'd stop pestering me
Over and over, day and night.

Time will tell as thickens the plot,
Will I become a Mom or not?
