Toothfully - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Pogo, pygmy hippo, does do
A demonstration of teeth brush
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
He takes his time and does not rush,
Brushing his teeth up and down on
The sides of a sturdy box that
Shows this hygiene phenomenon
Of Pogo in his habitat.
After brushing, Pogo has sense
To submerge underwater for
A good gargle and swishing rinse,
Finale for his choppers chore.

For visitors, Pogo does share
The importance of good teeth care.
