Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Food Patrol - LP Zoo

One of the things we meerkats do
Is always have one standing guard
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
The job is really not too hard.
Since unlike in the wild there be
No predators to threaten us,
Being the sentinel for me
Is watching all the people, plus
If I see a keeper come near
I bark to give a signal that
Maybe food is being brought here
To us in our habitat..

As sentinel I take my turn,
Watching for food my main concern.
