Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Chest Thumper - LP Zoo

Teenager Azizi does do

A beating of his chest so that

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

All those around his habitat

Will know that he thinks he is boss.

Chest thumping is Azizi's way

Of getting this message across,

Far better than just grunts could say.

Do other gorillas agree?

Most likely their answer is no,

Because other gorillas be

Beating upon their chests also.

It is a never ending quest

To make a point by thumping chest.
