No White Christmas - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Two sister lionesses do
A Christmas catnap on the grass
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
As holiday visitors pass.
No white Christmas in Chicago,
The sisters were hoping for that.
From down South they've never seen snow
In their previous habitat.
But the sisters can rest assured
That some snow will come falling down,
And the lionesses all furred
Will snow play in Chicago town.

Last week of twenty twenty one,
The girls will get in some snow fun.
