Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Start of My Story's End

At Lincoln Park Zoo I am here,

As over many years I've done.

It is my day to volunteer,

A time and place for so much fun,

As usual I'm early, so

I have the chance to walk around.

As by all habitats I go,

I have the feeling that I'm bound

To leave my animal friends for

A different chapter for me,

And so I try to connect more

With every animal I see.

Start of my story's end I do,

Grateful I'm at Lincoln Park Zoo.
