Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Vantage Point - LP Zoo

Pilipili, lion cub, who

Is checking out what's down below,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Hanging out on a rock to show

That the young prince is aware well

Of all that's going on around

The habitat where he does dwell,

Whether in air or on the ground.

At five months old, he's used to all

The humans who come visit him.

Sometimes he'll roar a howdy call

Depending on his mood or whim.

Behind, Mom keeps a watchful eye,

No fall off from her little guy.
