Of Land, Air and Aqua

Lollygagging scaly lizards lying on dry land; Tiny slimy sluggish snails crawling in long trails; Small stygian scorpions springing up from sand to kill with fast-slashing claws and horrid stinging tails! Big outlandish parrots saucy and too shrill - not as any owls I know, hoot-hooting all through night. Calling from a willow’s limb – a tawny whippoorwill; Sailing high in big sky – cardinals so bright! Myriad magical fish with a colorful glow; Scuba way down low; look at what coral fish can do. Most playful of animals aquatic – do you know? Burly, gray, and brainy – dolphins clap for you! N/A from July 25, 2020 for Emile Pinet 's Lipogram Contest NO E's in the poem!!
