Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Spread on Purpose - LP Zoo

As a sunbittern bird I can

Spread out my wings to scare away

Predators in an awesome span,

In bright and colorful display.

Large spots of yellow, black and red

Give the look of gigantic eyes,

Filling a predator with dread

That messing with me is not wise.

But I'm in an environment that

No predators do bother me.

I feel safe in my habitat.

Sometimes I'll spread my wings for free.

Okay folks - this spread's just for you,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
