Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Reluctant - LP Zoo

Mom says that I've seen them before.
October time they show up here.
They're big and round and orange galore.
Mom says I have nothing to fear.
Mom grabs the thing to show me that
It will not cause me any harm,
Just put into the habitat
For a fall festive fun and charm.
But this gorilla girl wants to
Take some time and let this thing be
Left alone at Lincoln Park Zoo.
Better be safe than be sorry.

I'm holding onto Mom real tight.
That pumpkin is a scary sight.
