Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 By the Tails - LP Zoo

Howler monkeys are monkeys who

Know how and when to use their tails

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

When opportunity avails.

On tree limbs the keepers hang out

Feeder bins positioned so that

Getting down to goodies no doubt

Required skills of an acrobat.

Each monkey tail wrapped 'round each branch

Allowed them to swing low enough,

Giving their long armed hands the chance

To grab out the tasty foodstuff.

This upside down successful prowl

Did give the monkeys cause to howl.
