Shear Madness - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A Sichuan takin, I do
Be covered in a golden fur
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Keepers tell me the tale for sure
Of Jason and the Golden Fleece,
A treasure that made Jason, King.
I surely don't want to release
My fur coat for any such thing.
The keepers sometimes kid me that
Jason would like nothing more but
To come visit my habitat
With shears and give me a haircut.

So Jason, if you are out there,
I'm watching for you - so beware.
