Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Get to Know Me - LP Zoo

Snakes do scare people, yes we do.
And so sometimes I am brought out
By keepers at Lincoln Park Zoo,
To show me less scary, no doubt.
The keeper keeps me held by hand
As the people do come on by,
Close encounter to understand -
Nothing scary for you and I.
And if you wish, you may touch me,
Connecting both of us so that
We share a time and place scare free
In a natural habitat.

I hope that very soon we'll meet.
I promise a non scary greet.
