By Bruno Standards - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

I am called Bruno and I do
What a cinerous vulture does
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Feed on dead animals becuz
That is a vital vulture role
To clean up dead carcasses that
If piled up would take a bad toll
On the health of a habitat.
Unlike the wild, wildlife do not
Drop dead a lot around me here,
So my keepers give me a lot
Of chunks of meat that they drop near.

Whole dead animals tend to be
A bit unsavory for me.
