Ima Ryma Poems

I am Mitochondrial Eve,
The most recent woman from whom
All living humans did conceive
And tied as coming from my womb.
...

A cotton-top tamarin, I
Do swing at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
In monkey shines - don't ask me why.
I just do cute, that's all I do.
...

A European white stork, I
Was just an egg some months ago,
And came to Lincoln Park Zoo - why?
Cuz there are two storks here who know
...

'Bill, will the scandal never stop? '
'National Portrait Gallery -'
'You're painted where your pants don't drop, '
'But there's a shadow all can see.'
...

I knew my wife was crazy so
I took her to a mental ward.
The docs came and I let them know
My wife, she needed help, oh lord!
...

A Canada lynx, I come new,
A feline ambassador that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Can connect from my habitat.
...

Jesse Owens, a 'Bama boy,
Born in Oakville, nineteen thirteen.
Running did become his main joy,
A star in the local track scene.
...

I watch the clouds go drifting by,
Illuminated from the moon,
Making for an artistic sky,
A canvas on which nature's strewn
...

Oh wondrous sun up in the sky,
You've been with me since I was born.
Without you I would surely die.
I welcome sensing you each morn.
...

I am Friendly, a puppy who
Does want to become your best friend.
There's so much fun that we will do
Each day from beginning to end.
...
