Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 You Betcha - LP Zoo


Ponies, Smithers and Mr. Burns

At the Farm in Lincoln Park Zoo

Are browsing browse while taking turns,

Watching the keeper watch them too.

The keeper did make a bet that

The ponies could not guess the weight

Of a log in their habitat.

Both ponies then did contemplate,

And then each alternatively did,

With their hooves stamp the number five

For pounds as their joint guessed on bid.

And that's what the scale read - no jive!


The keeper did lose the bet, yup.

So c'mon keeper, pony up.
