Sense Sonnet - Acher

Vicky - LP Zoo

For fifty years, Vicky did live
As a madame ambassador
With a wealth of sharing to give
On being better than before,
At connections each one with one
As living family on Earth.
Each born a daughter or a son,
The measure of parents' true worth.
Vicky, from daughter, did become
Mother over time in one place,
As multitudes passed to and from
Seeing the connect in her face.

Grand Dame chimp of Lincoln Park Zoo,
Vicky, we will remember you.
