Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Playing Solitary - LP Zoo

A young gorilla boy, I do

Like to pass lots of time away,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Finding fun stuff with which to play.

A small stick with some leaves I found

Just waiting for me to find there,

Beckoning to me on the ground.

I grab and wave it in the air.

Then quickly with no time to waste

All of my senses I employ.

I do see, hear, smell, touch and taste -

A curious gorilla boy.

When I have sensed the stick enough,

I go looking for other stuff.
