Trainee Fisher - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Fisher, the young grey seal, does do
Some voluntary training at
The seal pool in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Building trust in his habitat
With the keepers who keep close eye
On young Fisher from day to day,
Checking on good health of this guy,
Who's still a pup and wants to play.
But Fisher learning moves to make
At a keeper's instruction will
Help the keepers for check up sake,
Thanks to Fisher's responding skill.

As Fisher does each training feat,
A fish is thrown to him to eat.
