 Eye of Skink - LP Zoo

I am a skink, a lizard who

Does have quite excellent eyesight

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Pupils dilate in dark and light,

And I can see colors also.

The keepers who give me my care,

Individually I know

Who is who when at each I stare.

Contrary to what some folks think,

I do have moving eyelids that

Let me give a blink or a wink,

As I watch from my habitat.

You may not have gotten the word,

'Twixt and 'tween my two eyes - a third!
