Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Transforming - LP Zoo

With brothers two and sisters two,

The oldest sibling Patty is,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Top of gorilla sibling biz.

At nine years old she's 'twixt and 'tween

Being a kid and be grown up,

Challenging her daily routine.

It's hard being the oldest - yup!

Sometimes she wonders when she grows

What sort of a Mom will she be,

When she has children of her own,

All that responsibility.

Come less thoughts of a child, instead

More thoughts of a parent ahead.
