Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 More - LP Zoo


Trumpeter swans, Clover and Mo,

Have chosen smelt from the menu.

Fish for breakfast - they're both gung ho

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

The keeper can't serve fast enough,

As Mo and Clover eagerly

Grab the fish in their bills and stuff

Down the smelt in speedy degree.

The keeper keeps up with demand,

Until the smelt supply runs out.

When there are no more fish on hand,

Clover and Mo sound off no doubt.


After chowing down smelt galore,

Both swans do trumpet, "We want more."
