Too Cold - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A record cold day - what to do.
This snow monkey does check it out
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
There are no visitors about.
I hear the Zoo is closed today,
But keepers keep me in good stead.
The only humans on display,
But thanks to them I'm safe and fed.
Yes, the Windy City is cold.
I can surely verify that,
For a few moments feeling bold,
Then back inside my habitat.

Yes, this snow monkey does like snow,
But not when it's fifty below.
