chicken turtles, loons

shoebills, snipes...

Not to a ball and chain.

Your past should be a line in the sand,
That you never step...

Why did Noah take nits?
Let's pull this Ark to bits,

It must be tough to edit,
Searching calmly for mistakes,
Whether spelling or grammatical,
That every author makes.

Still, it bothers me when reading
