Amare is 12 - LP Zoo

Western lowland gorilla guy,
Amare is now 12 years old.
He, with 3 bachelors, occupy
The same habitat to behold
Growing up at Lincoln Park Zoo.
Nearby, Dad Kwan can also see
When Amare comes into view.
How much alike the two do be.
Pronounced head crest, more silver backed,
Three hundred and seventy pounds,
The last year Amare fast tracked
The birthday wish to grow on - zounds!

Amare - a Happy Birthday.
You're growing up in a fast way.
