Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Dog Day '20 - LP Zoo

August 26th each year is

The International Dog Day,

And African painted dog, Ms

Topaz does make a fine display

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

As she greets visitors nearby,

Doing the best that she can do

To pump the day and not be shy.

She keeps busy with this and that,

Giving all in this time and place,

Who do visit her habitat,

Awesomeness of color and grace.

On this Dog Day of August hot,

Topaz breaks for water a lot.
