animals in your life

a bird in a cage
makes me weep, frustrated -
unspoken words

[billy rubin]

most mammals are bats and rats

Well, bugger me if you're not right.

I see no mammals here
but people dressed for the fine
weather.

 Orcas on both sides of the Straight of Gibraltar are pissed or motivated by some other reason..  There have been numerous attacks and even some sinkings of boats in those areas.  They particularly favor attacking sailboats.
 
Speculation about why these attacks vary.  One of the more logical posits is that the Orcas know that food is almost surely aboard those sailboats. Hungry pod of Orcas....sink the damned boat. Other speculation is that the fin keels of the sailboats may pose an imaginary threat to the Orca mind.  They attack fin keels and are particularly adept at destroying rudders.  Some speculation is that Orcas do it for sport.

Few if any sailboats can sail faster than an Orca can swim. No running and hiding is in the offing for the unfortunate mariner.

Everything's an excuse for poetry.

Buggy is a little doggie.

[MarcusA]

A little dog is a bit whiffy,
A big dog does big turds.

Bad poetry is the bane of my life. It's like fleas that jump in a flea circus, gimmicky.
