Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Sitting Giraffes - LP Zoo

We giraffes do a lounge, we do
Kneeling down on a fresh new bed
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo
Of scented soft pine shavings spread,
A sensory sensation that
Is a welcome pastime indoors,
Making us in the habitat
Look much shorter when on all fours,
To visitors who happen by
And cannot see the floor on where
We sit, so some may wonder why,
And very puzzled, they just stare.

So we stare back all feeling fine,
Lounging upon a bed of pine.
