Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Leaving My Scent - LP Zoo

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

This klipspringer does assure that

A black eye I'm not showing you.

I am fine in my habitat.

A preorbital gland does show

On my face and next to each eye.

And from each such scent gland does flow

Pheromones and you may ask why.

These secretions I do put on

Things to mark my territory,

A natural phenomenon,

Key to each klipspringer story.

Wherever I happen to be,

I often leave a scent of me.
