Tippy Toes - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Aawesome aardvark, Paatsy, does do
Some tippy toeing forth and back
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Quiet moving, she has the knack.
A digitigrade, Paatsy is,
Meaning she walks on her tip toes
In order to do walking biz
To get to wherever she goes.
Being nocturnal, tip toeing
Usually occurs at night,
But times you might see her going
About her bizness in daylight.

When tip toeing, Paatsy does be
Doing it oh so daintily.
