Charlie Turns 5 - LP Zoo

Charlie, the grey seal, did turn five
On New Year's Day twenty nineteen.
He sealed the deal and partied live
In the Lincoln Park Zoo home scene.
He ate a special cake of fish
As all his well wishers looked on,
And barked to all it was delish.
Quite a high five phenomenon
When Charlie used his flipper to
Smack the rock five times to count down
How many new years he'd been through,
Most of those in Chicago town.

Happy Birthday, Happy New Year,
Charming Charlie filled with good cheer.
