Ima Ryma Poems

At the pond the male frogs do sing,
Competing for the females that
In the nighttime are listening
In the watery habitat.

Sometimes the polar bear, Siku,
Needs to have a blood sample drawn
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
So Siku has been called upon

A golden breasted starling, I
Be a multi colored bird who
Is appealing to human eye
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
...

A hearty cock a doodle do
From this rooster - I am called Beast
At Lincoln Park Farm in the Zoo.
Heard north and south and west and east,
...

As a red river hog I do
Most of my busy stuff at night
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Sometimes in daytime I'm in sight,
...

An Egyptian fruit bat is me
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
From North Africa my kind be,
And eat a lot of fruit we do.
...

I know they'd say, "Mosi don't you"
"Be raiding the refrig at night."
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
I open the door and the light
...

A golden silk spider I do
Weave a large and shiny web that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Zigs and zags through my habitat,
...

I'm Stanley. a snowy owl who
Does like to perch somewhere on high
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
And sense the world as it goes by.
...

Bolivian gray titi be
The type of monkey be we two,
Just hanging out up in a tree
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
