Longing For Spring - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

The fall and winter months I do
Be a lonely polar bear guy
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
My gal is denning just nearby.
I'm not allowed to see her, though
I can sense her scent in the air.
I do so long for her to show,
And once more we can be a pair.
And I can show off just for her,
And do the stuff that makes her smile.
The only thing I know for sure,
I don't like this lonely lifestyle.

I do each and every day
Wish that she will come out and play.
