Huge woolly mammoths have long been extinct
Why create creatures that are to T-Rex linked?
They were frozen in ice
Don't remake them from mice
Am I clear or should I be more succinct?
Its wild and woolly outside tonight
The wind is blowing a mighty gale
The trees are loudly whispering sweet nothings
Or whistling mournful tales
The rain is indecisive
Spasmodic in small bursts
The thunder lazy and quietly rumbling
No desire or energy to exert
Jabba the hut? Is that the best you can do?
I’ve been called a lot worse by better than you.
You say that I’m portly, then call me a troll.
No soup for you! Now give back your bowl.
I’m just kidding, offended I’m not.
Just let your bowl sit, I’m sure it’s too hot.
I had hoped that your break would have improved your wit.
You’re still just a pimple, now go pop that zit.
But seriously folks, we’ll still try to teach.
It must be hard when intelligence is just out of reach.
Perceptive and cunning or intellectually confused?
You can keep calling me fat, but that’s already been used.
Antiquated material will no longer fit.
Maybe you could find a personality kit.
Your outfits the same, it’s not even woolly.
It’s so sad to see that you’re still just a bully.

Sumatran Rhinos are listed as, critically endangered
and are now classified as, “functionally extinct”
as they are only seen in zoos, for their genes to be preserved
but the death of two subspecies, makes them so distinct
Sumatran Rhinos used to live, on Borneo and Sumatra islands
and are the smallest, of the living Asian Rhinos
These Rhinos have two horns, very unique to these hinterlands
and their long hair relates them to, the ancient Woolly Rhino
Poaching of Rhino horns, are sold on the black market
for medicine and ornaments, that makes them a big target
and the biggest markets, are in China and Vietnam
as the greed of money, is a worldwide human scam
On my walk I came across a Woolly Bear Caterpillar
It was walking across the street
I picked it up to move it off the road, hoping it would be ok
This caterpillar curls up in a ball for protection
Later it will be the Isabella Tiger Moth
I haven't seen one in a while but they are a sight to see

A Banded Woolly Bear
Quiet road.
Autumn sun,
Parting leaves;
Warm light pools.
An earnest Woolly Bear
Crossing, pool to pool,
Urgently cautious,
Towards some important thing!
No bird notices, no car yet,
No winter yet.
Just an earnest Wooly Bear
Alone, towards something important.
What importance I cannot know,
On the silent road, for now.
Looking down, I wish the Woolly Bear well,
And hurry on.
Wool like textured hair,
Vibrant and cleaned with care,
Thick coloured lashes,
Looks very dashing,
On the pale and blemish free skin,
Sweet & unconsuming,
Life laid bare,
Cleaning that nose ring must be a nightmare,
But no time to sit and stare,
There is a whole wide world out there to glare,
I am off to join the fun fair.
