Sense Sonnet - Tickler

"Mom, Are You Listening?" - LP Zoo

"Mom, let me come back in the pouch."
"I know you said you needed space."
"But that's no cause to be a grouch -"
"Make me a DCFS case."
"I'm just a helpless baby roo,"
"And you're kicking me out of home,"
"To run wild in Lincoln Park Zoo."
"Where all sorts of creatures do roam,"
"'Specially those weird humankind,"
"Waving lit boxes in abound."
"As a Mom, I would think you'd mind"
"That all these strangers are around."

"C'mon Mom, I went out to play,"
"But let me back in - whadya say?"
