Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Takin to Task - LP Zoo

Life for a Sichuan takin
Is fun at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
Enrichment is really rockin'
In pinatas the keepers do.
Is there a tiger in my space?
In the wild this would not be good.
I'm not scared coming face to face,
Pretend predator - understood.
I nuzzle up and sniff it out.
It is a keeper work of art.
Eyeballing's not what it's about.
It is there to be torn apart.

A paper tiger I can beat,
Chew up until I find the treat.
