Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Up on Stilt - LP Zoo

A black necked stilt, I am a bird
That likes to wade in waters wet.
Long legs - so stilt is a good word,
And long on each red leg I set.
While standing on one, I can fold
The other leg up next to me,
Countless times heard the humans told
A one legged bird I must be.
Why humans named me, I don't know.
Yes, I have got black on my neck.
But long red legged stilt best show.
Humans are clueless - what the heck!

Check out this stilt when you do do
The Bird House at Lincoln Park Zoo.
