The Emperor's "Clothes" - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

As an emperor newt I do
Have brightly colored "clothes" I wear
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
I do have lots of fashion flair.
I have a ridged and bright orange head.
An orange ridge runs along my back,
Where rows of round orange bumps are spread
On a shiny background of black.
Should I be grabbed in threatful way,
I will secrete a poison that
Discourages my being prey
To grabbers in my habitat.

Of course I let my keepers be
Able to keep in touch with me.
