Enter NeolinaENTER NEOLINA

She always smiles,

To show her other side,
But Neolina is perfect,
And has...

Fun At the ZooAntisocial anacondas don't associate in numbers;
Bears and beavers don't become the best of friends.
Civet cats catch rats, so is it any wonder
On doleful dingoes dire dilemmas do descend?
Effete elephants eschew jumping, it's ungraceful;
"Frenching" frogs will...

Through glinting waves by unknown shores —
