Profile Of Minnie - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Northern tree shrew, Minnie, does do
Close up for the picture taker
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Providing memory maker
Of her, detailed in time and place,
Presenting a pose of profile,
Showing off half her pretty face,
And letting be seen half her smile.
And one of two front paws does hold
A potential food item that
A lick or two and she'll be told
If to munch in her habitat.

Many a picture's taken when
Minnie's about to munch again.
