Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Escape From - LP Zoo

A kangaroo is born to jump
Out and about Lincoln Park Zoo.
I am a pain in keepers' rump.
So higher fence is what they'd do.
The more I got out, higher went
The fence to try to keep me in.
"Jump higher than that," keepers vent.
But that fence can't jump. I just grin.
And after I'm out and about,
Keepers are in frustrated state.
There is a solution, no doubt.
The keepers could just lock the gate.

As a babe, I was lazy, so
Mama called me pouch potato.
