 swinging through the canopy 
        what a gripping tale

Premium Member The Etiquette of Prehensile Tails

If medicine gives us a tail,
The proper should not let it flail.
It should be coiled tight,
Though tea-holding's right,
Or holding the rudder to sail.

Premium Member A Pet Marmoset

My neighbor has a marmoset
  a most unusual urban pet

His monkey has a silken coat
  and a non-prehensile tail
 
Which helped my neighbor not at all
  ~ when off he went to jail

Premium Member My Prehensile Tail

Oh, to swing from jungle trees,
Mother Nature's flying trapeze.
I'd doff my shirt, my pants, my tie,
and to the Amazon I'd fly, 
where I would gladly make avail 
of my own prehensile tail.

Pooh

“Pooh”


Winnie’s squeezed sigh was rather prehensile
butt Oh bother! was the scoop by Walter Winchell
bears do do do in the woods
but the buzz to bee understood
is it’s trees that make number two pencils

Pre Computer Age By: Miracle Man December 30, 2021 Coffee stains on unlined paper; a number two lead pencil, erasure mostly gone. Thoughts that appeared as vapor; I desired to be prehensile, each break of dawn. What was needed was a short pencil with a long erasure. Tom

Premium Member Spider Monkeys of the 5th Degree

Their prehensile tails act as a fifth limb, helping spider monkeys swing from tree to tree. They often hang by this amazing appendage as they wrestle and play high enough to resemble spiders.

A Tale of a Tail

There once was a girl named Gail
she was born with a prehensile tail
quite a sight to behold 
is what I've been told
especially when she's climbing in trees.

Believe it or not, if you dare
it was hard for most not to stare
she learned fairly soon
that her tail was a boon
in the circus, a star she would be.

So the story turns out, you see
this tail, like an arm, making three
made her money with ease
on the flying trapeze,
quite a tale of a tail in the end!

Statecraft

Delta. I was the fourth child.
The delta connection of a
triangular love. No blues.
Only cottony belly.

My copper coins. I want to save
them for making talismans.
My arms are entwined like
a python around the neck of a medusa.

That hairy push of a trident.
The stinging tentacles. The
polyp was enlarging. Now the
snake was shedding the skin.

Statesmen. They change their colour
like chamaeleon. Prehensile
tail trailing behind the witch-
craft of black goddess.
