Slugs Have Four Noses

Slugs have four noses or so it is said and a pig cannot see the blue sky overhead Tigers have striped skin and rabbits can’t sweat you can’t lick your elbow you’ll try though I’ll bet Birds cannot pee and worms eat their own poo and a crocodile can’t poke it’s tongue out at you Kangaroos cannot jump if you lift up their tail and a small child could swim through the veins of a whale Ducks have three eyelids to keep their eyes dry what tastes food with its feet yes – you’re right – butterfly A shrimp has a heart which he keeps in his head a hot Hippo is scary his sweat is bright red Dolphins sleep with one eye shut under the waves and bats always turn left when they fly from their caves Worms taste like bacon starfish have no brain but if he lost a leg he could grow one again But the best fact of all and this one takes the crown Flamingos have lunch with their heads upside down So your ears are too big or your legs are too thin and you dream of a dimple right there - on your chin So accept what you see God loves you as you are He created us all And you're His brightest star

Bill, this is my first opportunity to read any of your poems. Being a trivia buff, I thoroughly enjoyed every line. P.S., I'm still trying to lick my elbow. I almost made it but got a bad cramp in my neck. lol
