Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Jacques and Cousteau - LP Zoo

Afloat, hooded mergansers, two,

Jacques and Cousteau paddle about

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

The two guys showing off no doubt.

Doing some courtship stuff so that

Maybe some gal ducks will be drawn

To the outside pond habitat

For matchmaking phenomenon.

Optimistic, Jacques and Cousteau

Clad in their fine feathered array,

Keep performing their water show,

Hoping for gals to come their way.

And so did the duck guys do well?

As gentlemen they do not tell.
