Oil Job - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

This beaver often likes to do
A personal grooming so that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
I am primed for my habitat.
Inside my body I produce
Special oil I spread on my fur
That has a waterproofing use,
And also keeps me warm for sure.
I am in the water a lot,
So a busy beaver I be,
Making sure I have the forethought
To spread my oil all over me.

When you visit me you might find
Me grooming, watch me - I don't mind.
