Sense Sonnet - Acher

 On His Own - LP Zoo

Romeo, the rhino's now two

Years old and very soon will be,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Going forward separately.

The time has come to sever ties

With Mom and go on his own way.

In the wild it is no surprise

For two year olds, there comes this day.

It is a rhino passage rite

That two year old male rhinos go

Off on their own and disunite

From Mom, all the better to grow.

Mom has raised her Romeo well.

He's gonna rock as time will tell.
