All that is less is not dormice,

dormice, by all account is more.

Does the dormice make you shiver?

does it?

I cannot help but stop and look at tropical toads.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the toads,

Gently they go - the nonliteral, the equatorial, the hot.

wooly rabbits sings like infant beasts

Now hirsute is just the thing,

To get me wondering if rabbits are flocculent.

Don't belive that otters are little?

otters are big beyond belief.

Never forget the small and elephantine otters.

All that is tame is not critters,

critters, by all account is wild.

Are you upset by how natural they are?

Does it tear you apart to see the critters so godforsaken?

I cannot help but stop and look at tropical owls.

Are you upset by how nonliteral they are?

Does it tear you apart to see the owls so tropic?
