Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Do as Dad Does - LP Zoo

Pilipili, lion cub who

Is watching Dad up on a rock

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

So Pilipili takes a walk,

And up onto that rock does go,

Doing his best to imitate

The regal pose that Dad does show,

Putting Dad in a prideful state.

The king and prince upon rock throne,

Observing all within royal gaze.

Throughout the Zoo let it be known

Dad will teach son the reigning ways.

Below the public "oohs" and "aahs."

Above on rock's edge four paws pause.
