Lol at the wordplay on 'ears'. Very nice (alliteration nice too).

I’m a softy for brilliant puns, and this is one, make no mistake: I love it.
I think it would be just as good in a Japanese way if there were no pun. “Indifferent ___”: grass, deer, flies, ants, etc, even groundhogs except for the syllable count.
Nice.

Thanks, Ralph, Gail, Sarah-Jane, and Allen.
Allen, woodchucks, hedgehogs, or beetles would work, too, though I’d miss the pun, which I’m happy you like.
Sarah-Jane, thanks for mentioning the alliteration!

Congratulations, Martin. I’ve been working on haiku and tanka lately. They’re very challenging. Like the alliteration?
