Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 On the Job - LP Zoo

This lion's lyin' on a rock

Till there's something better to do.

I am on the connecting clock

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Visitors come and I know that

Making them happy is my job.

They see me in my habitat,

And "ooh" and "aah" at me a gob.

Many of them call out my name,

"Hey Jabari, please look my way."

My mood determines if I'm game

Whether or not to make their day.

After lyin' a while I'll take

Some quiet time and well earned break.
