Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Crested Wood Partridge - LP Zoo

A crested wood partridge partridge, I do

Spend most of my time on the ground

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

This bird does like to strut around,

Showing off my fancy plume that

Does protrude from top of my head,

And brightens up the habitat

In silky fine feathers of red.

Rollulus rouloul  is the name

That my kind got scientific,

Thanks to our red crown of fame.

What better name could humans pick!

A strutter on the ground I be.

There's no pear tree perching for me.
