What animal is this? What is your evidence? We are wrinkled hulks With astonishing noses. Our ears block the sun.
What animal is this? What is your evidence? When I raise my tail, Expressing my displeasure, Even wolves make tracks.
What animal is this? What is your evidence? I have no hatchet And yet I fell a forest. My teeth are my tools.
What animal is this? What is your evidence? Raucously we caw. Your straw men do not fool us. We burgle your corn.
What animal is this? What is your evidence? Don t think about it Just leave the vicinity If you hear my tail.
