Mom Gets A Break - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

The family behind the scene
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Pilipili is 'twixt and 'tween
His Mom and Dad, a prideful two.
Trio of lion lyin' out,
Mom and Dad are in catnap mode.
But Pilipili, without doubt,
In playful mode does seek to goad
Dad into waking up so that
The two of them can play the game
Of clapping paws in pit a pat,
A Pilipili claim to fame.

Mom's just happy she gets to take
A chance for a well deserved break.
