Youth Outreach - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

As a young snow monkey, I do
Like to welcome young humans that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Come to visit my habitat.
Yes, these young humans tend to yell
And run by the windows a lot.
They're just excited, I can tell,
So want to connect, tot to tot,
Cuz sometimes I feel sorry for
These young humans that have to face
Growing up challenges galore.
I'm glad to share some time and space.

The message that I want to send
To young humans - I am your friend.
