Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Long Legged Greeter - LP Zoo

This Abdim's stork's a greeter who

To African Journey welcomes,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Visiting human manysomes.

At times I'm perched up in a tree,

Other times I'm on a fence post.

Come 'round the bend and there I be,

Doing duty as feathered host.

I be a big bird standing tall,

Couple of feet from beak to feet,

Making an impression on all

The journeyers that I do greet.

It is very likely that I

Will greet you when you journey by.
