Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Water Woo - LP Zoo

African penguins, he and she,

Both do go for a swim, they do.

A nice and sunny day it be

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Of course he wants to impress her,

Showing off his fine swimming skill.

Of course she doesn't seem that sure

That he's that great, but she keeps still,

And lets him do his macho thing,

Zigging and zagging to and fro.

It is a time and place in Spring

For courtship goings on to show.

Is it enough performing art

To let him maybe win her heart?
