Striping Forth - LP Zoo

A plains zebra, I'm quite a sight,
Stripes striping every which way
In all directions, black and white,
I be a dizzying display.
In Africa where I am from
A "quagga" is how I am termed,
Which sounds like my call of welcome.
Listen close and will be confirmed.
Why my stripes? - you can make a guess.
Humans like guessing, humans do.
I will not answer no or yes -
My secret at Lincoln Park Zoo.

The humans see me and are awed -
As plains as the stripes on my bod.
