Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 "Egg"ception - LP Zoo

Plover parents, Monty and Rose,

Got so busy with hatchlings that

Leaving an egg unhatched they chose

At their Montrose Beach habitat.

To the rescue, Lincoln Park Zoo

Incubated behind the scenes,

And did hatch a healthy chick new

By human intervention means.

Back to Monty's and Rose's nest

The chick was taken and placed there,

And watched and hoping for the best,

The plovers quickly began care.

Reproduction can often fail,

A happy ending to this tale.
