I wrote this poem for Lucy.
The Mandrill
Have you ever seen a mandrill?
Do they have one at your zoo?
The LORD God made the mandrill,
Just like the Lord made you.
The mandrill has a funny face
With his nose all red and blue –
And he’s colorful in another place
If you look at his back view!
And then I got carried away and did an illustration of funny-faced mandrill, although I did not include the colorful back view.

So, have you ever seen a mandrill?
I’ll probably show you the back view of this post in the morning.
Hahahahaha! I LOVE this picture of the Mandrill!

I know (based on your wonderful illustration) that I have
at least seen a Mandrill in a photo or on television, but I
don’t remember if I have seen one in person. Lovely poem!

Thank you! I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen one either. I wonder if the Minnesota Zoo has them?
