Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Eastern Newt - LP Zoo

I am an eastern newt and do
Like being in water a lot
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
A good direction sense I've got.
Eastern North America be
Where most of my kin do reside.
In Childrens Zoo you can find me.
The howling wolves can be your guide.
When I was young I was all red.
As an adult I'm olive green,
Four inches long from tail to head,
With lots of spots scaled 'twixt and 'tween.

If I see you are coming by,
This newt will surface to say, "Hi."
