ANIMALS' DEFENSES

 

Dolphins are brilliant.
Skunks squirt smells
Possums play dead.
Porcupines have quills

Elephants have memory.
Birds have flight
Armadillos have armor
Giraffes have height

Goats can climb
Bees can sting
Monkeys from branch
to next branch swing

Owls see at night
Dogs can bite
chameleon colors
grow light

Cheetahs are fast
Bulls have horns
Gophers can hide
Simplicity have rats

Human speech have parrots.
Six arms have octopi.
Whales have size.
Cats jump high.


(The Latin prefix for six is sex and

may have presented more social

problems than the octo of 8)



HEARTBROKEN BEAGLE


 

A heartbroken
beagle
begs
not to be left
behind

in a shelter.


(The Examiner had a video a while back of

the beagle)
