Big Hearted - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

I have a big heart, yes I do.
As a giraffe I'm glad of that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Because of where my brain is at.
My heart and brain are far apart,
Thanks to my long neck 'twixt and 'tween.
And so I require a big heart
To do the needed pump routine.
To get the blood all the way up
Through my long neck and to my brain,
I need to be big hearted - yup,
So consciousness I can maintain.

When my big heart is pumping well,
No worry of a fainting spell.
