Migrating yearly pole to pole,
Flying on high o'er oceans span,
Maintaining air traffic control.

Did join the high school football team,
So older brother, Teddy, did
Not further smack his self esteem,

Swinging at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Of the realm of Lincoln Park Zoo.
From my ledge, I take in the scene.

Lincoln Park Zoo - great place to stay.

As written centuries ago.
Some amendments did get indwelled,
But nothing recent - doncha know!

A white faced saki monkey - me.
While I'm at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
Most in South America be.
But I'm a guest here - just for you.
