Safety Zone - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

The young macaque monkey did need
To find a real good place to chew
The stick that she did find indeed
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
She needed to find a safe place
Where others would not bother her
And would not dare to give her chase.
There must be such a place for sure.
And so with stick she looked around,
Checking here and there, this and that,
Until the perfect place was found
In the whole monkey habitat.

She chewed upon the stick with knack
While sitting upon her Mom's back.
