Throatful - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Throatful - Lincoln Park Zoo



An Anthony's dart frog, I do
Make my awesome male mating call
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Loud enough to be heard by all.
My vocal sacs under my chin
I do blow up like a balloon.
Then my mating call does begin
In a chirping, whistle like tune.
For several seconds or so
My mating call does resonate.
Through the airwaves my sound does flow,
Hoping to attract a good mate.

If you happen to hear my pipes,
Know that humans are not my types.
