Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 In Traffic - LP Zoo

White blotched river stingray, I do 

Share a pond with some turtles that,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Are swim pals in the habitat.

Always in the water I be,

While the turtles come in and out,

But oft come swimming in with me,

Liking my company, no doubt.

Sometimes swimming, a thump I'll feel,

And see that it's a turtle shell.

I just keep swimming, no big deal.

No cops are called, no show and tell.

Living with the turtles is good.

We have a friendly neighborhood.
