A tarsier's eyeballs are as big as their brain
Mine too when seeing a gorgeous filly in chains
Another part flip flops
Making my buttons pop
But not to worry, I'm not really in pain
TARSIER: A small nocturnal primate from
the Philippines having extremely large round eyes
I shall but send a fluffy Jedi …for the mythic unicorn already lives in you.
To PD from N.O.
*according to biologist Dr. Myron Shekell, Washington University, Yoda was modeled after a tarsier due to its huge eyes, tiny frame, and the fact that it speaks a language of its own.

Heard through the office grapevine
the boss will now resign.
Have to beat the deadline
or that position won't be mine.
I need to work and sacrifice
no sleep tonight, a wink's just nice.
Your Red Bull in my coffee
I drank, now look at me!
Thank you Lyric Man and FJ Thomas for the inspiration.
Reminds me of those days of endless coffee and antacids. :-)

rain showers the land
displays knolls of green grasses
tarsiers free park play
sun shimmers brilliance
upon brown mounds verdure lair
