Warmer Upper - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Aruba Island rattlesnakes,
We oft be a party of two,
Giving the watchers doubletakes
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
In the habitat we do meet
And weave around each other so
We share each other's body heat
In a tangled together show.
And thus we can be for a while,
Until one of us makes a move
To slither from the twosome pile,
Opting out of the warmup groove.

Unless provoked we cause no harm.
Watch us away while we get warm.
