 Tongue Curious - LP Zoo

I'm Pilipili and I do

Be curious about my tongue

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Mom says mine's small cuz I'm still young.

But she says a lion's tongue is

A very important tool for

Doing successful eating biz,

Helping accomplish needed chore

Of scraping off feathers and fur,

And getting right down to the meat.

Tough as thick sandpaper for sure,

My tongue prepares my food to eat.

Mom says my tongue will grow, no doubt,

I'll see it when I stick it out.
