So when, on some dark silent night,
You hear soft sounds, do not take fright.
A wombat it may
Be, that's just come to say
To you, that you're wrong and you're right.
--- Tiddy Ogg

According to expert Mick Bissell,
The difference 'twixt witter amd whistle
Is slight. So, says Mickey,
You may find it tricky
As getting your hand 'round a thistle.
--- Tiddy Ogg

So listen! Hark, is that the plumbing?
Or only the Fridge that is humming?
Isn't whisper or witter
Of wombatty critter
That soft up the stairs is a-coming?
--- Tiddy Ogg

The wombat makes very good stew
If cooked very slowly, it do;
A little bit chewy
Like rat ratatouille,
But ten times as tender as gnu.
--- Peter Wilkins

An interesting notion, but still,
I'd rather my belly to fill
But getting me stuck
Into platypus duck...
At least till they give me the bill.
--- Tiddy Ogg

There once was a digger from Sturt,
Who was frequently given to blurt:
"Say what you can,
I'm a most cultured man,
For my name is Acidophilus Yoghurt."
--- Barry Rosenberg P0608

Stay out of the pond! Danger's great!
Flesh-eating bacteria have a new trait.
Now reminiscing fishes
Cast lowly lake wishes
For plankton, amoeba and zooflagelate.

My favorite graffito's the stain
That's splorched on the pipe 'neath the drain.
It is still alive?
Does fungus still thrive?
I can't wait to wank there again.
--- H Welchel

The fungus that lives on the pipe
'Neath the sink is getting quite ripe.
It's growing a face;
It may soon replace
Us all with an alien type.
--- Karen Schirmer

I've tried to attack it with bleach;
It sees me and hides out of reach.
I've used poison sprays
And shot it with rays.
Please help me, someone! I beseech!
--- Karen Schirmer

I can't seem to kill the damn stuff;
It's got little nodes that go puff,
And stink up the house.
It smells of dead mouse.
So now, do you know enough?
--- Karen Schirmer

It'll soon be a forty foot fungi;
I think before then I must run. Gee!
I can't take the smell;
The bathroom is hell,
And it seem to think it likes to bungee!
--- Karen Schirmer

There's only one hope for your plight;
Listen carefully, you must get this right.
Get the Ty-D-Bowl man
(He's stuck in your can)
And have him blow farts through the night!
--- Arden

For help with that bathroom pollution,
Call on that household institution --
Heloise; from whence
All those helpful hints,
Always ready with a cleaning solution!
--- Kaylin

A solution I've heard could be fun.
Just listen, now here's how it's done...
One stick dynamite,
Wedged in nice and tight,
Light the fuse and learn how to run.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Now if you reached a safe distance,
You'll find that mold showed no resistance.
And there's nowhere inside
For that fungus to hide,
So just wait to collect the insurance.
--- Tiddy Ogg

The Ty-D-Bowl guy gave up spice
Can't fart worth a toot on just rice.
I gave up the fight
And finally last night
Took Tiddy's explosive advice.
--- Karen Schirmer

My house is in pieces today;
The mold's just a smallspot of grey.
Dead muck in the pipe
But I will not gripe.
The house was a mess anyway.
--- Karen Schirmer

So now dear, you're homeless for Christmal.
You may think the future is dismal.
Here's a nice ass's stall,
With a manger and all;
It could be a lot more abyssmal.
--- Tiddy Ogg

No matter how bad is all seems,
It's rarely as bad as our dreams.
My freedom has doubled
And we are not troubled
By fungaloid takeover schemes.
--- Karen Schirmer

Consider the life of the germ,
Determined to make us infirm.
No matter how clean,
It still will convene
Inside us for sessions long-term.
--- Timothy Torkildson

The farmer injected ammonia
Into his soil with great ceremonia.
But germs in the soil
Did all the hard toil,
In making his corn grow phenomonia.
--- Anon

Thoreau's Walden, a pond most serene,
Had developed an unpleasant sheen.
Henry's neighbours agreed
It was 'cause of the weed;
Surface algae had turned it all green.
--- Rory Ewins Q

My fridge has a rampant ecology;
The EPA and the CDC
Have deemed it protected;
Said we are infected.
We're quarantined or we would flee.

A tiny crustacean called Jill
Had fun with another one, Bill;
Indeed, so much fun,
They're now parents of one
Thousand million billion krill.
--- Peter Wilkins

In the dung of a large green iguana,
An aboeba once asked, "Do you wanna?"
A yeast cell replied,
With the rule that applied:
"No mixing of flora and fauna."
--- Bob Birch P9803

You'll have to admit it's a chore
Entertaining a phelgmatic spore.
They move very slow
And their charm doesn't show;
You'll forgive me, they are such a bore.
--- Al Willis P9809

If a virus could have all his druthers,
He'd mate with his sisters and brothers.
In fact, they all do,
And that's noting new.
But now they attack their own mothers.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

What's good timing for male intromission
In nematode sperm competition?
Is the early worm's sperm
That which catches the germ,
Or will late sperm usurp its position.
--- Prof M-G TP9901a

Doctor Fleming, the lucky young Scot,
Got a mold in his wee culture pot.
Penicillium notatum
Kicked the staph's skinny bottom,
And it's good for whatever you've got.
--- Anon

Sir Fleming, mold-medicine's beginner,
A proven microbial winner,
Defeats strep and staph,
E coli? He laughs!
For viruses? Defer to Jenner.
--- Mig

Imagine the size of the virus
That invades to sicken and tire us.
An infinity
That we cannot see,
Could sneak up behind and expire us.
--- Ericka

My itching, burning athelete's feet,
Rubbed raw and red with intense heat;
The smarter among us
Report it's a fungus.
I'm convinced it's a yaws spirochete.

A mad scientist in Berkeley resides,
Giving lectures on research he guides.
On vivisections
Or yeast infections;
Egad! What horrible slides!
--- Anon

It's said he has a sweet confection.
In fact, I hear it's pure perfection.
His yeast dough will proceed,
With the longer you knead,
To rise in the upward direction.
--- Anon

Injections make Melanie cringe,
And she faints when she sees a syringe;
But her doc says injections
Stop horrid infections
From eating away at her minge.
--- Anon

I really should never have ridna
Horse that wild -- wish that I didna! --
When he threw me, my spine
Met with consumate pine,
For I lit on a spiny echidna.
--- Robin K Willoughby P8611

I kid you not, the echidna's no slouch,
(And you'd think this would make her a grouch),
She wiggles around
'Til a way can be found
Of laying her eggs in her pouch.
--- Silvia S Crockett P0104

The platypus lives in Australia.
It belongs to the order mammalia.
It lays eggs like a bird.
Don't you think that's absurd?
To describe it, you'll find words will fail ya.
--- Nancy Henry-Kline P9305

Australian aborigine --
The unattradctive DUCKBILL. He
Would probably get
The status of pet
If transferred where Ubangis be.
--- Irving Superior P8611

A platypus breeder named Hills,
In debt he was, up to the gills.
Those quack doctor's fees
Brought him to his knees;
He couldn't take all those duck bills.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Said the platypus, "Darwin omitted
To come out to Oz and submit it
To a test of his system.
Well, we haven't miss him;
We've survived though we'd never have fitted."
--- Anon

That creature, the platypus duck,
Eats things that he pulls from the muck.
Back legs, (his, not hers)
Have poisonous spurs,
Which smart if you chance to get stuck.
--- John Miller

A platypus -- duck-billed no less --
Was depressed and cried out in distress,
"Why of all God's creatures
Have I got these features?
What made Him create such a mess?"
--- Peter Wilkins

And God answered, "Sorry 'bout that,
But my hand slipped while swatting a gnat.
It was not of my choosing;
The glue I was using
Got stuck 'twixt a duck's face and rat.
--- Peter Wilkins

But you were the funniest thing
That I'd made until early one spring,
When I fashioned from earth,
In a moment of mirth,
A young Adam, a humanoid being!"
--- Peter Wilkins

Now once, Mrs Perfesser got drunk,
She decided to bake up a skunk;
Though it tasted quite well,
It just wouldn't sell...
And the kitchen -- My God! -- how it stunk!
--- Anon

"There is," said an envious ermine,
"One thing I just cannot determine.
When some girl wears my coat,
She's a person of note,
When I wear it, they call me vermin."

Ferrets live by a code tried and true;
From which humans could benefit, too.
Teach your sons and daughters
To "Do unto otters
As otters should do unto you."
--- Jonathan R Mason

An albino ferret named Mouse,
Loved rolling around in her blouse.
It was really a sight
To see three mounds in flight;
Kept her husband from leaving the house.
--- Bob Church

Our Japanese ferret Unagi,
Is sometimes a little bit hoggy.
He laps up soy milk,
(Though not good for his ilk)
And later his poop comes out soggy.
--- Okojyo

There was a young man in a berret,
Without an iota of merit.
He showed no respect
To the mayor-elect,
Down whose trousers he posted a ferret.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

We have a sweet ferret named Seymour,
Who thought that he might like to wee more.
He tipped over a cup,
And licked it all up,
And was happy to see that he peed more.
--- Anthony Thomas

Are ferrets and polecats the same?
To think so is really a shame.
But there are those who think
A ferret's a mink;
Just ask someone at Cal Fish and Game.
--- Katherine Kuckens

Maxwell the ferret's a glutton,
From duck soup to turkey and mutton.
He says, "I'm no pig.
I supposed to be big!"
But his coat's almost too tight to button.
--- Brian T Matchick

I leave you my solid gold ferret.
He weighs in at 24 carat.
And so when I fly
To that hammock in the sky,
You'll inherit a ferret of merit.
--- Katherine Kuckens

A ferret named Wicket came in;
On his face was a cute ferret grin.
He'd picked all the locks
And stolen my socks,
And I won't ever find them again.
--- Crassi

Rommel was king of the hill;
Other ferrets were bent to his will.
He was sure that his age
Made him wise, just and sage;
But his subjects thought he was a pill.
--- Sherrie Wilson

A Fish and Game agent named Antone,
Hated ferrets down to the bone.
He got his degree
From watching TV,
But stupidity he got on his own.
--- Bob Church

There once was a ferret named Prince,
Who detested a bath and a rinse.
He would fluff up his fur
And most rudely demur,
"I refused and have not done it since!"
--- Sherrie Wilson

We now have a ferrret named Beasley,
Who thinks his treat ration too measly.
He planned all one day,
Till he figured a way
To steal the raisin box easily.
--- M Janke

Them ferrets is not very nice.
Up yer leggin's they run in a trice;
Then they nibble and gnaw,
'Til you're awfully sore.
Bet it's someone's peculiar vice.
--- Anon

There once was a ferret named Rikki,
When he peed, he wasn't too picky.
He peed on the floor
In front of the door,
And that's why the floor is so sticky.
--- Dave Taylor

Ferret Stella has a very sharp tooth;
Rather two and that is the truth.
If you think I lie,
I'll show you my thigh,
Where she tried to change Rob into Ruth!
--- Bob Church

Yes I know that this story is true,
Although those who saw it are few.
A large skunk came to church
With a twist and a lurch,
And sat down in his very own pew.
--- Tom Patton P0609

Your basic American otter
Will opt to submerge under water
For reasons divers;
He'll later emerge
For reasons sundry, as he aught 'er.

There's many a baby SEA OTTER,
That's lost its mother and fotter.
Though once their reduction,
Neared otter destruction,
If we bother there'll soon be a lotter.
