Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Kagu, the Digger - LP Zoo

I do dig for bugs, yes I do.
That's what us kagu birds do eat
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
The keepers keep me bugged - ah sweet!
But come to the Bird House and see
Me digging often in the ground.
I just do it instinctively.
Here and there a bug I have found.
Notice the skin flaps on my beak,
Covering my nostrils so that
I don't snort in lots of dirt - eek!
Then I'd sneeze up my habitat.

I guess it could be said I s'pose.
Clean hygiene, yes, this kagu nose.
