Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Caruso R.I.P.

Caruso, rest in peace old friend,

A special white cheeked gibbon who

Long gave joy that's come to an end

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Over all those many years that

We came to visit you and see

You thriving in your habitat

With Burma and the family.

You loved to flirt with ladies - yes.

But ev'rybody you'd welcome.

Sometimes comments you would express,

Sometimes quietly suck your thumb.

In memory we watch you swing.

In memory we hear you you sing.
