Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Belly Up - LP Zoo

As a fire bellied toad I do

Stand up and stick my belly out

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

If there are predators about,

My brightly colored belly is

A warning that I am as prey

A very nasty tasting biz,

And predators should stay away.

But through the glass I can see that

It is a keeper standing there,

So I'm safe in my habitat.

I'm belly proud and so I share.

Another toad there does seem to be,

But it is a reflection of me!
