Is it quite big or only small?
I've researched every chronicle
But nothing can I glean.
And are its jokes all topical?
Politic views all marginal?
Its manner flash and prodigal,
Or introvert and mean?
Does it move in ways methodical,
In tree and bush subtropical?
Or more at speeds impossible?
Or somewhere in-between?
Do you find it at the carnival,
In trousers, hat and monocle?
(Undeniably improbable,
And is, no doubt, obscene!)
Experts they differ one and all,
In almost every article
But not to split the follicle
I'd guess it's olive-green!
So, as I lack the wherewithal,
To catalogue damn doggerel,
I’ll finish up this canticle
And take one, sight unseen!
