Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Closer Look - LP Zoo

A spectacled caiman, I do

Sometimes see fit to leave my pond

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

And go out to see what's beyond.

Out of the water I do crawl

Onto a rock, and then I climb

To better see the scen'ry all

I see from my pond all the time.

I find myself looking down where

I see my pond beckoning me,

And know I like it better there.

My pond is where I'd rather be.

I've seen all I need see and so

Back down into my pond I go.
