Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Pumpkineer Djeke - LP Zoo

Young gorilla, Djeke, does chew 

Intently on a pumpkin piece

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

On a mission that will not cease,

Till that pumpkin be all chewed up,

Swallowed and down in his tummy.

Quite a feat for the young guy - yup!

Downing a pumpkin is yummy.

Young Djeke does remember that

Pumpkins come only once a year,

In fall time in the habitat,

So take advantage while they're here.

Djeke chews till the pumpkin's gone,

Quite a filling phenomenon.
