Young Climber - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Pilipili plays peek a boo.
The little lion cub's way up,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Upon the highest rock top, yup,
Where he gives a grin looking down,
As back behind him there does be
Skyscrapers of Chicago town.
He sees the pride of family
Way down below, up at him gaze.
Both Mom and Dad do look pleased that
Their son has mastered climbing ways
Throughout the rocky habitat.

It is the young cub's place and time.
Pilipili - long may you climb.
