Just Too Cute - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Just Too Cute - Lincoln Park Zoo

Rating: 5.0


I am a cute red panda who
The humans love to see this 'red'
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Lots of 'oohs' and 'aahs' be said
When an appearance I do make,
Followed by picture taking that
All of the humans have to take
Of me out in my habitat.
Observing humans, I confess,
Are hard for me to figure out.
Just a needy species, I guess.
My cuteness fills some need no doubt.

Nibbling bamboo, I just say, 'Shoot.'
Guess I'm used to being so cute.

Now or may have misplaced 'shoot' in the first definition sense I mentioned. : ) bri

'shoot' (besides meaning 'take the photo' or 'fire the gun') is 'A mild exclamation of anger, annoyance, regret, or disgust (about something) .' To my favorites. AND I 'love' your poetic name. bri ;)
