Deer Dip - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Pere David's deer, we are so cool,
And we do like water a lot,
So like to hang out at the pool
Especially when days are hot.
For better swimming we've feet that
Has webbing between our toes.
So in watery habitat
We maneuver about as pros.
If there be any fish around,
Using antlers we can flip out
The fish, tossing them to the ground
For fun, they're thrown back in no doubt.

Pere David's deer, a dip we do
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
