Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 New Naked Mole Rats '21 - LP Zoo

Naked mole rats - a litter new

Of six pups are crawling about

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Making their presence known no doubt,

As they crawl over older ones,

Who seem to be okay with that,

Patient with new daughters and sons

Busy about the habitat.

It's been a decade since there's been

A new litter of mole rats here,

A welcome time to have again

More of these little ones appear.

The young pups are learning to be

Part of all in the family.
