Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Rounds with the Mulberry Bush - LP Zoo

Young gorilla, Mondika, guy

Is wrestling with a leafed branch that

Lincoln Park Zoo keepers supply

In the gorilla habitat.

A fresh mulberry browse is cut

And hung in the habitat, then

Young Mondika 'round it does strut,

Then up for the sport - he's all in,

Pulling and pushing, then back out.

He gives the browse fierce tug of war,

Then retreats to surprise, no doubt,

The browse as he goes in for more.

When Mondika is on a tear,

Mulberry browse is worse for wear.
