Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Dwarf Mongooses - LP Zoo

We are dwarf mongooses (not geese).
We are a mammal (not a bird).
Parents with pups, we keep the peace,
Without needing to say a word.
Our family pack live here
In great digs at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
Large pointed head, long tail, small ear.
We have nice soft fur - yes we do.
From Africa, called dwarf becuz
There we're the smallest carnivore,
Bugs, reptiles, birds and rodents does
Make our list at nature's store.

Small mammal house is where we're at.
So come on by - we'll have a chat.
