Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Changing Scene Seen - LP Zoo

A spectacled caiman, I do

Make a spectacle of myself,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Out sun lounging on a rock shelf.

I'm named for the bony ridge that

Does sit above my pair of eyes

Like I am wearing glasses at

Whatever I may analyze.

Being a reptile I oft seek

Places where I can absorb heat.

And not minding when humans peek

I just ignore and do not greet.

On land or in water I be,

And I see you when you see me.
