a more abominable snowman
would be one with no name.

The Yeti
and Lawrence Ferlinghetti
were both hirstute; much more so
than Gregory Corso.

A centipede
went and peed,
but how did he forget
what to do to keep his hundred feet from getting wet?

The female black widow
knows how to get rid o'
a male who expects
no-strings-attached sex.

The sea urchin
is a creature I'm often besmirchin'
as spiny and knobby,
but I praise how it tastes with rice and wasabi.

Well played, folks.

The heraldic morse,
like a wild, rearing horse
when sejant, seems meek and compliant
when naiant.

Was a right liner.
It would upset the minister
to bend sinister.

LOL, Orwn, I was just about to post this one!

The unicorn
kills all but virgins with its pro-jejune-y horn--
a fact my third-grade classmates didn't know.
But I was not a virgin. So.

The Jerusalem cricket
is so creepy, I'd kick it,
if not for recalling
the ways I'm appalling.

A nearsighted porcupine
said, "Won't you be my valentine?"
but he got no answer because the fact is
he was courting a cactus.
