Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Thankful Meerkat - LP Zoo

The other meerkats chose me to

Be the sentinel with the job,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

To watch for the rest of the mob,

When for us the keeper does bring

The Thanksgiving dinner to eat.

This day of thanks is a great thing

The humans came up with - so neat!

We meerkats here are thankful for

All the fine care that we receive.

The keepers keep us well galore.

We live a good life we believe.

Dinner's served senses this meerkat,

And I am sure thankful for that.
