Ape Swing - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

This gorilla does like to do
Some rope swinging from time to time
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
There are fake trees that I can climb,
And grab ropes hanging 'twixt and 'tween,
As then I do play acrobat
In a hand over hand routine,
Up high above the habitat.
Very confidant I do be.
There is not any safety net,
Just the hard ground is below me.
But so far I've not fallen yet.

A swinger of which songs I sing,
As through the air you see me swing.
