Fankoo
[Inspired in no small way by the poem “Thankyou” by Deb M]
The Fankoo is almost extinct
He often spoke before he thinked
He’ll take you for granted
Through eyes that are slanted
His gratitude ain’t index linked
The Pleese are his very best friends
A species on which he depends
A nocturnal race
That won’t show their face
A shyness that sometimes offends
How easily we can forget
The species that some never met
Our world could still use
Some Pleese and Fankoos
So let’s not forget them just yet
