Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Long Leggedly - LP Zoo

I be a bird called black necked stilt,

Cuz I have stilt like legs I do.

For water wading I'm well built

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

In the water is where I find

Critters and plants I like to eat,

And my long beak is well designed

To grab such goodies at my feet.

While in the water where I'm at,

I also can use my beak there

For outside the wet habitat

To grab flying bugs in the air.

Standing one legged, I don't fall.

And in such stance I'm just as tall.
