Spotted All Over - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A jaguar at Lincoln Park Zoo,
And you can spot me by my spots,
Called rosettes, each in a rich hue
Of gold on black, and I have lots.
I myself don't look at them much,
But oft I use my tongue to lick
Them clean and glossy nice and such.
Some pointed grooming does the trick.
Of course when I am moving fast,
My spots blur more as more I speed.
But when I make a stop at last,
Again you'll spot my spots indeed.

And underneath all of my fur,
Same spots are on my skin, for sure.
