Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Lincoln Park Zoo Volunteer

I am retired from working life,

Sixty some years of jobs for pay.

I do not miss the stress and strife.

Now I devote my time today

To being a volunteer at

Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo where

Animal and plant habitat

Always are fulfilling when there.

For several days a week I go

And talk to visitors about

This treasure that I've come to know.

I am all the richer no doubt.

The Zoo, I have written on it

Many a connection sonnet.
