All Fur Art - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Each African painted dog be
A display of artful design
Like the furry colors on me,
An arrangement uniquely mine.
The tans and blacks and browns and whites
Are splotched across my body so
To evoke visual delights
Wherever I may choose to go.
On the move my colors do blur,
But come to focus when I'm still.
No matter when I'm seen, I'm sure
An awesome sight I do fulfill.

I will show my colors for you
When you visit Lincoln Park Zoo.
