Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Cashew Turns 37 - LP Zoo

Thirty seven years old, Cashew,

The oldest member of your troop

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

All chimp secrets - you've got the scoop.

You have been around long enough,

From other chimps you get respect,

And don't tolerate any guff,

And make that known very direct.

All know you're irritated when

There's seen a lot of the bristling

Of the grey whiskers on your chin.

The troop's attention that does bring.

Cashew, have a Happy Birthday.

You are the best, chimp, chimp hooray.
