Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Preston is 9 - LP Zoo

Preston, the penguin, nine years old.
Here's a Happy Birthday to you.
You're looking beautiful and bold
At home in the Lincoln Park Zoo.
Who could not love that feathered face,
That wistful smile from bearing beak,
A look of take charge of this place,
The waddle boss, no tongue in cheek.
As alpha male you lead the bunch
Through all the doings of each day.
Of course you are first fed at lunch.
That is the pecking order way.

The penguins know that by and large
You, Preston, are the bird in charge.
