Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Master Pilipili - LP Zoo

Pilipili is my new name,

Swahili for pepper I'm told.

And it's official I can claim

To be a male, now two months old.

This lion cub is happy that

Humans have done these info chores.

Next comes the outside habitat

To see me live and hear my roars.

But Mom says patient I must be.

A pepper needs to ripen so

Mom is still busy raising me.

I still have ripening to go.

Yes, I'm a Pilipili who

Is hot for the Lincoln Park Zoo.
