Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Tongue to Tell - LP Zoo

The Virgin Islands boa be

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

Sticking her tongue out so that she

Can get a sense of what is new.

She likes to hang out in the trees,

Looping upon the limbs so that

She is able to sense with ease

Goings on in her habitat.

When she senses a keeper near,

Her curiosity turns on.

What's now going to happen here? -

A check it out phenomenon.

She's hopeful that her tongue will tell

That food's coming - that would be swell.
