Christmas A Foot - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

The red footed tortoises do
Be in the Christmas spirit, yes,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
And want to get in festive dress.
The keepers placed a salad bar
Filled with a bunch of greens, and so
The tortoises need not move far.
Off to the salad bar they go.
The tortoises do figure that,
Along with lunch, they'll also be
Well suited in their habitat,
Donned all in colors festively.

They head for the salad bar scene,
So each foot will be red and green.
