It's In My Genes - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

I do a "seal" pounce, yes I do.
I do so often in my pool
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Cuz I am a polar bear who'll
Somehow know instinctively that
In the wild, seals are the main prey
For us, so in my habitat
I practice hunt in the same way,
And pounce on anything that is
Just happening to float about,
Beckoning me to do my biz
As super seal pouncer no doubt.

Pouncing on seals is so much fun,
Even though I've never seen one.
