Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Taking No Questions - LP Zoo

Hi - Thistle, Canada lynx, here.

Lots of humans do often ask

About the tuft atop each ear.

Is this hair for show or for task?

Maybe help hearing in some way,

Or help me detect things above.

Possibilities - who can say?

I just know the tufts are part of

The makeup of my body that

Others can look at me and see

When I show in my habitat.

Why the tufts are there - don't ask me!

Answer Your questions - I don't do

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
