Volunteer Appreciation - LP Zoo

The keepers said to me, "Pavel,"
"There's something we need you to do."
"Human volunteers you know well,"
"It's their week at Lincoln Park Zoo."
"Please tiger on out in support"
"Of some volunteers standing by,"
"And for a few minutes hold court"
"For some pictures, so don't be shy."
I headed to my window where
I was was drawn by a fav'rite scent,
The keepers used to get me there.
They know I do love peppermint.

Behind the volunteers in pix,
I can be seen in shadowed licks
