ANIMAL ANOMALIES

A Doubly Silly Pair of Sonnettes

By Izzy Ess of Silliness

A snappy so deliriously happy

Snapping turtle snapped at salivating

Sally Salamander.  She demanded

Explanations.  Horace Tortoise kept

On snapping, inexplicably.  The salamander,

Sally whipped her tail and sent

The tortoise, Horace, flying and he landed

Upside-down.  Ms. Sally salivated

As she moved in for the kill.  The hill,

On which our Horace landed was a steep

Incline.  Our Sally pushed him on the rim

Of his old shell, and with her muscular

Strong tail, she rolled him down the hill towards

The Sea of Galilee.  She could not stop

His great momentum and she slipped and slid

Into the water with her adversary,

Who could swim.  Our Sally crawled upon

His shell and made it to all the way

To Hamilton and Edmonton.  They talked

And found they had a lot in common and

Decided to move in together for the rest

Of 1954, and ever more.

Since having children was impossible,

They did adopt a pond of tadpoles and

They watched as all the tadpoles did develop

Into frogs and then they built a sty

For raising of some hogs and sows who did

Produce some piglets and a slew of squid.
