Mario - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Mario, the pied tamarin,
Spies a keeper wanting to take
A picture, so the imp within
Mario urges him to make
A so awesomely funny face.
Being small, the monkey comes near,
Positioned at a closer place,
So his face would better appear.
This does seem too good to be true,
But the keeper is pleased no doubt.
Then a face Mario does do,
Including sticking his tongue out.

Mario likes to have fun too
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
