Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Chat n Chew - LP Zoo

The one year old gorilla girl,
Bella, is talking up a storm.
Her chattering is all awhirl,
But for Bella this be the norm.
Momma is listening nearby,
Keeping Bella in sight and sound.
Bella's mouth crammed with food - that's why
Bella's messy mumbles abound.
But Momma does not seem to mind,
The way that human mommas do.
Manners are of a dif'rent kind
For Bella at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Yes, Bella has a bunch to say,
Mouth full of food, but that's okay.
