Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Mirror, Mirror... - LP Zoo

Another snow leopard I see!
When first I looked into the mirror.
But then I realized - tiz me!
I'm the only snow leopard here.
And so I do gaze on, I do.
Taza, I am one handsome dude
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
And at the mirror I just stay glued.
It is so hard to look away.
I blink my eyes and twitch my ears.
I check my whiskers on display.
And then my grooming tongue appears.

Each hair and whisker now in place,
There is no doubt - a perfect face.
