Critterature: Place Your Bets

A yak and a yeti made a bet To see which one was the hairiest. The yak was an ox, And the yeti, no "fox", Had already won as the scariest. Neither had the allure Of the latest coiffure, They were unkempt and creasy and craggy. Then a monk passing by Judged the bet was a tie For their coats were both equally shaggy. Well, the yeti and yak were quite taken aback, Each proclaiming that she was the winner, Until Hetty the yeti settled the bet By having al dente lama and yak for her dinner!

Eat your competition? Why not. Yeti wins by a foot (and a rump, and a kidney...)

Thanks, Tom. I believe her philosophy is "If you can't beat 'em...eat 'em!"

Hetti's cholesterol may skyrocket. I enjoy this cute poem.

Hilda, thanks. Yes, not much fiber in a filet of lama, I'd bet.
