Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Painted Dogs - Social Distancing - LP Zoo

Topaz and Mikumi note that
There are no visitors around
Watching them in their habitat.
Normally visitors abound.
But the painted dogs aren't aware
That the Covid virus does mean
That visitors cannot be there,
And that's why there's none to be seen.
But keepers do keep there, they do,
And both of the painted dogs sense,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Best care is still in evidence.

Through the Covid phenomenon
The closed Zoo works and life goes on.
