Anteaters, Biscuits, Meerschaum Bowls

All have so much in common with fowl

They all deal with very unique tastes

As do duck or pheasant cooked w/o haste



Why should any of these three single items

Be outlawed from conversation crammed

With so many elements of sensible nature

Such as those we've already shared in chairs?



Some have wandered into other vast lands

As others have come to our attention as stands

We have taken make us seem rigid in stance

Instead of showing the flexibility in our lance



Nobody is as you think you see them ... clearly

Some of us are much more complicated - nearly

Wrapped completely around in peel-off layers

Why don't you start tugging at all of the hairs?



As you do, you will find a body lithe and supple

Which comes from workouts of like mind's couple

Deal with it and you will at last come to enjoy

The ample time afforded you by this man-boy.
