Who Will Play with Me? - LP Zoo

I see the human kids, I do,
All playing in the human space,
Next to me at Lincoln Park Zoo,
The human kids all shout and race,
Playing with blankets just like me.
By me, all covered up, they pass,
Making no notice that I be.
And so I pound upon the glass.
And round me put my blanket on
To show that I can play as well.
But when I peek out, they are gone.
I show my show, but none to tell.

Gorilla kids just want to play,
But human kids just run away.
