Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 First Smell, Then Touch - LP Zoo

This sloth does not see and hear well,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

But have terrific touch and smell.

And so I use these senses to

Determine if and when I be

Given by keepers food to dine.

First my nose knows and signals me

That lunch is served and make it mine.

So following the scent I go.

It takes a while cuz pretty much

When I make moves I take it slow.

Once there I check the food by touch.

With food in my two toes embraced,

I use my favorite sense - taste!
