Stripes or Spots - LP Zoo

Giraffes have lots of spots, they do.
This zebra was noticing that
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Both of us in the habitat.
That made me wonder if I would
Look better in spots than in stripes.
I took a look at me real good,
And tried to imagine spots - yipes!
A zebra with spots - I don't know.
I do enjoy my stripes of course.
If I had only spots to show,
I'd look like any spotted horse.

I think I'll stick with stripes and be
The zebra that all know is me.
