Buttercup 'eggs'plant On - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Canada lynx, Buttercup, knew
This round ball called an eggplant be,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
A sensational thing that she
Could use all of her senses for.
At first she saw the item that
She then sniffed over it galore,
Then rolled it 'round her habitat,
Hearing it rock and roll in haste,
And finally did give a bite,
But really did not like the taste,
All in all a sense of delight.

All five senses of Buttercup
Were used upon this eggplant, yup!
