Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Eye Wash - LP Zoo

A Henkel's leaf tailed gecko is
Looking 'round for something to eat.
Finding food is serious biz
That the gecko wants to complete.
But the gecko can't see too well,
Cuz dirt and stuff covers its eyes.
There are no eyelids to dispel
The dirt, so Mom Nature supplies
The gecko with a means to clean.
Out of the gecko's mouth is swung
The instrument of eyes hygiene -
A nice long pink wet wiping tongue.

The clean eyed gecko can now pursue
Food here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
