Sounding Off For Love - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

An Anthony's poison dart frog.
A looking for love guy, I do
A courtship calling monologue
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
I take in a big breath of air.
My throat blows up like a balloon.
A long, loud, high pitched tone I share
That I'm available, in tune,
To the frog ladies one and all.
I let my love searching be known,
Hoping Miss Right will heed my call,
Attracted by my macho tone.

My sounds of music resonate
To overwhelm my future mate.
