Sheldon Cooper Tells a Riddle

What would you call the young hatchling, for fun, Of a buzzard crossed with a flamingo? The answer is moot ’cause it couldn’t be done, So the joke is on you: Buzzingo! --- (For the Buzzards and Flamingos contest sponsored by Anthony Slausin.) Explanation, for those who might need it: Sheldon Cooper is the nerdy character on the TV sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" who popularized using the word "Bazinga!" to signify you've played a joke on someone. So, yeah, this poem is pretty much only for people who enjoy a pun-induced groan. :-)

Well, I LOVE young Sheldon and laughed out loud upon finishing your poem. Very, and I mean VERY, creative entry for the contest. I bet Anthony will love it just as I do. You amaze me, Ed. You're like that quiet kid in class who grows up to be a stand-up comedian. Hugs, Carolyn

Thanks, Carolyn. Sometimes a silly pun is the best my muse can muster. :-)
