Ricko's Ballgame - LP Zoo

Ricko is playing a game to

Keep his big boomer ball away,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

From keepers who might dare to play.

"Just try to take this ball from me,"

The message in Ricko's keen stare

At the keepers who nearby be.

None of the keepers take the dare,

Cuz o'er the ball Ricko does squat,

All the three thousand pounds of him.

Keepers know that they'd better not

Play grab the ball - the odds are grim.

He's not to be played with at all

When rhino Ricko's on the ball.
