Otter Celebration - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

This otter on Fourth of July
Is watching the red, white and blue,
Decked out visitors walking by
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
It is a hot and sunny day
As I am watching from my pool,
Watching the people on display,
And they watch back - I am so cool.
It is a time and place for fun,
To feel connected one and all,
Back to nature under the sun,
While celebrating freedom's call.

A Happy Birthday Uncle Sam,
Otter be caring and I am.
