Please give me an original piem for pi, on the subject of zoology

(a poem where the number of letters in each word follows the digits of รฎt = 3.1415926535...) on the theme of zoology:

Piem: "In the Zoo"

(rt = 3.1415926535)

Now (3) I (1) see (4) a (1) proud (5) iguana (9) slowly (2) climbing (6) branches (5) gracefully

(3).

If we check

3 ("Now")

4 ("see")

1 ("a")

5 ("proud")

9 ("iguana")

2 ("slowly")

6 ("climbing")

5 ("branches")

3 ("gracefully")

You know you can turn that off, right?

When prompted to renew, instead hit cancel, and they will offer you 365 "classic" without copilot at the original cost.
