Georgia - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Strolling about Lincoln Park Zoo,
Suddenly I've a feeling that
I'm being watched as I walk through,
Near the painted dog habitat.
And then I glimpse her watching me.
Painted dog, Georgia, standing still
And watching me so intently,
Gazing down from atop a hill.
And so I stop and watch her back,
Watch this lovely one year old pup.
Each of us standing still in track.
She's watching down, I'm watching up.

As I go on my way, I find
I do have Georgia on my mind.
