Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Warmer Upper - LP Zoo

Aruba Island rattlesnakes,

We oft be a party of two,

Giving the watchers doubletakes

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

In the habitat we do meet

And weave around each other so

We share each other's body heat

In a tangled together show.

And thus we can be for a while,

Until one of us makes a move

To slither from the twosome pile,

Opting out of the warmup groove.

Unless provoked we cause no harm.

Watch us away while we get warm.
