    *faunetics*

    Below, is one squib in a series I call "faunetics". Each time I respond to posters (if any?!) I will post another one...


    The Cougar

    I knew a Cougar
    who blared "AH-OOGA!"
    it really was a hoot!
    Instead of roaring,
    which it found boring.
    It would gleefully yell...
    TOOT!...TOOT!

    That's funny. But what is the connection between responding to a post and writing a faunetic (I like the word play-very clever)?

    "The Hare"


    I do not care for potted hare.
    The ears take up
    too much room in there!
    So, I eat a dish that I like better.
    I think the Germans call it,
    HASENPHEFFER!!!

    O-o-h-h-h...yeah, I took a quiz recently that said I was quick thinking...I don't know about that...I may not always get it right away, but I do enjoy puns (she said brightly)

    I've always wanted to creep-up behind a Norse or Greek God, with a brown bag full of air, to see if the "bang" would cure him...like it might a mere mortal!

    "The Loch Ness Monster"


    The Loch Ness Monster, "Nessie",
    has a most checkered history,
    and, whether she exists or not,
    is still a deep, deep, mystery!

    Does she live and swim
    in those cold and stygian waters?
    Has she ever given birth,
    then giggled in outright mirth,
    with, any bonny daughters?

    Or is she but the first and last
    Of her mythical scottish clan?
    Should a bagpiper
    play a mournful dirge...
    For an imaginary, also swam!?

    The Crow


    A fat, old crow
    sat in a tree,
    it's body perched,
    precariously!

    His body swayed
    from side to side.
    No matter what,
    the poor bird tried!

    One talon stuck
    into the air.
    Which gave no purchase,
    firmly there...

    The limb in question,
    seemed to me,
    to be having trouble,
    with it's knee.

    But, as I pondered
    its sad plight,
    said a voice within,
    "That can't be right!

    "For, where we humans
    bend the knee.
    Is not in the bird's
    ANATOMY!"

    The Homing Pigeon

    When one thinks upon the sight,
    of a homing pigeon in full flight.
    One wonders how,
    through day and night,
    the pigeon gets its direction right!

    It does not fly, haphazardly,
    from house to house,
    or tree to tree.
    But, once released, and soaring free,
    a bee-line home, with ease, makes he!

    No use to ask the how and why,
    it knows which way that it must hie.
    It seems that once it's in the sky,
    it needs not ask a passer by,
    it's homeward route, to verify!

    For, instinctively,
    he seems to know,
    along which line doth fly the crow!
