"morris" the Manx"Morris" The Manx
A "tailess" menace is what he can be..
Getting into everything; so full of energy!

Lacking red, yellow and orange
but you shear the air to make up for it.
I walked a few steps around your island once. Got
so tired in a day with sandwiches and pop.
Marvelled at your fifty...
