Pavel - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Call me Pavel, a tiger guy,
Pawsing here at Lincoln Park Zoo,
Chew on Chicago and say, 'Hi.'
So far I like it - yes I do!
Amur (Siberian of old) ,
I like the wild and winter clime,
And am quite comfy in the cold.
But you can spot me any time.
You will know when you spot my stripes
In a cat nap or on the prowl,
Even close up, face to face - yipes!
And listen for my 'howdy' growl.

Come visit me where I do dwell.
I got a tiger tale to tell.
