Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 No Tooth To It - LP Zoo


Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

This Abdim's stork is eyeing lunch.

I have no teeth to sink into

The food and so I do not munch.

I pick up a bug with my beak,

And quickly swallow the bug so

It "meats" my gizzard, so to speak,

Where the bug's ground up good and slow

It's just a fact with all birds that

There is no need for teeth with us.

The food in our habitat

Is eaten without too much fuss.


So when visiting, you won't see

Any bug being chewed by me.
