Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Birch in Search - LP Zoo

Birch, all American black bear,

Is foraging for goodies that

Keepers have hidden here and there

In play things in his habitat.

As soon as Birch comes outside, he

Can smell the goodies in the breeze.

Nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds be

Somewhere hiding for him to seize.

It takes no time at all and Birch

Is at his toys and shaking out

The rewards from his quite quick search,

Enjoying his success no doubt.

Birch can well smell out any clue

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
