Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Dream of Pink - LP Zoo

A Chilean flamingo who

Is still in a juvenile way

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

Has feathers that are fluffy grey.

But as the youngster does grow up

Time and diet does assure that

The feathers will turn bright pink - yup!

But meanwhile in the habitat

The youngster must just wonder why

It is not pink like Mom and Dad.

All the youngster can do is sigh

And dream about being pink clad.

And as the youngster does mature,

Pink will replace the grey for sure.
