Peck It Out - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Tiz a corn on the cob to do,
And the chickens do peck away,
At Lincoln Park Farm in the Zoo.
And recording the snack display -
A camera set chicken high,
Catching all the activity,
And catching Beast, the rooster's eye,
Wondering if perhaps it be
Something like the corn he can eat.
So he comes close to check it out.
Is it or is it not a treat?
Some pecking is called for no doubt.

Beast gives the camera a peck.
Nothing to eat here - what the heck!
