The parrot stands, as if jilted.
The chipmunk sniffs, as if intrigued.
Parrot behaves ever so stilted.
Chipmunk is just hungry and fatigued.

SLOVENIA LIMERICK
There was a brown bear from Slovenia
who had a bad case of anemia.
While his kin were vegetarian,
he ate campers and carrion —
Hope you don’t meet the iron-shy bear of Slovenia.

BOTSWANA LIMERICK
There was a safari guide in Botswana
who disliked being quizzed about fauna.
"I don't mean to be rude,
but there's Huge, Fast, and Food --
so, just three types of beast in Botswana."

crawls into clock vine bloom;

one-legged crow squats
to explode into flight;
false alarm!
