Calmer Downer - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

We cichlid fish are many hue
And size as we do swim around
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
African Journey's where we're found,
In a huge tank, ceiling to floor,
Behind thirty feet length of glass.
Five hundred of us less or more
Viewed by visitors as they pass.
A calming effect we provide
For visitors who watch a while,
As up, down, back and forth we glide.
We bring a therapeutic smile.

If you're having a stressful day,
We can help, so come our way.
