All Dotted Up - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A handsome fellow named Pontu,
A white blotched river stingray be
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
All bright white polka dottedly,
A natural camouflage that
Helps him to blend in very well
While in his water habitat
On the bottom where he does dwell.
Rather a unique looking fish,
Enlarged pectoral fins give him
Appearance of floating diskish
As underwater he does swim.

Beware Pontu's tail that can bring
To the toucher a nasty sting.
