Minato's Learning - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Snow monkey, Minato, peeks at
Mom doing some computering
With keepers in the habitat,
Hoping that quite soon Mom will bring
A treat out to her pride and joy.
Minato knows that Mom is smart,
Earning treats she shares with her boy.
For Minato that's the best part
Of this training that Mom does do
By choice in volunteering way
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
So close by Minato does stay.

Sure enough Mom comes over and
Puts a treat in Minato's hand.
