Mruko R.I.P. - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Sad - Mruko has left the building,
The Lion House where she lived long
At the Lincoln Park Zoo, to bring
Human connection - good and strong.
Twenty six years, this serval cat
Held audiences in her paws,
Charmed from her indoor habitat,
A year long joy of sandy claws.
Lithely leaping about the rocks,
Or chowing down upon a meal,
Or long naps in her fav'rite box,
Small as cats go, but one big deal.

An oldie, goodie - time to go.
Thank you for being here - Mruko.
