Taste for Leaves - LP Zoo

This baby sloth is growing true.
I'm soon approaching one year old,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Momma is helping me take hold
Of how my diet will soon change.
Instead of Momma's milk to drink,
My taste will go to leaves - sounds strange!
But Momma does know best I think.
Leaves are what sloths most like to eat.
All I need to get them is stick
My tongue around and pull in neat.
Sounds, all in all, like a fun trick.

I look at leaves about me be,
And soon those leaves will be in me.
