I said I'd make a poem of how great otters are!

The Best of Beasts

Otters are such powerful beasts,
We swim from morn till night,
Never there was an otter who drowned,
'Cause in water we're all right.

O wid a tail like a rudder an' a big fat muther,
I'm dangerous to any foe, or vermin foul an' low.
'Cause otters is an' otters are,
The best of beasts by far by far.

We're gentle with the little 'uns,
An' kind to ole mousewives,
Savin' drownin' moles an' such,
With splashless, quiet dives.

O wid a rudder for a tail, y'hear the vermin wail,
Us otters are strong as the day is long.
'Cause otters is an' otters are,
The best of beasts by far by far.

*if otter tails weren't so thick, Dakkan's would likely be between his legs. He shoots a guilty look at the weasel.* Sorry! I have a short one I was working on t'day. It'd be a one-post story, but it should be interesting. *mutters* You and my friend both. SHE bothers me 'cuz I haven't made any progress in my WWII story... *scowls* (NT) Dakkan the ...*gulp*... chastised 02:23:47 06/26/03 Thu

*chuckles* You're kidding, right? This thing is currently *checks* 48 pages long, and I'm not even out of 1942! However, if I get the time I'll post excerpts. I think it's a cool story, but that's just because I'm a WWII geek...*grins* (NT) Dakkan 00:48:18 06/29/03 Sun
