Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Score the Roar - LP Zoo

The four month old lion cub is

Practicing lots and lots to do

The lion thing of roaring biz

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Whether outside or inside, he

Listens to all the adults, and

Takes any opportunity

To practice on his unique brand

Of taking in a bunch of air

Deep down the throat into the lung,

Then bellowing it all out there

To let the older hear the young.

Pilipili is all in for

Making the "purr"fect pitch of roar.
