Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Storm Turns 14 - LP Zoo

Storm, the harbor seal, opts to do

A Happy Birthday bark to self

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

While flipping onto a rock shelf,

To check out the keeper made scene

Of a fancy fish and squid cake

For Storm who has now turned fourteen.

He is quite anxious to partake

A time and place to celebrate.

The birthday boy in sight and sound

Deems his party to be top rate

With all the goodies he has found.

A Happy Birthday to you Storm.

You look and sound in perfect form.
