Arcady - Early mammal




A dreadful shriek rang through the woods

That’ll be the nun again
What is it now ? Enquired the faun


The nun had caught a look
The Early Mammal in her book

It was l

Was half way through Leviticus
Had only done this while she’d napped

She’d woken up - they’’d overlapped
And the nun was not impressed

To see a rodent in her vest

And being that she was in shock

She’d hit it with a rock



Oh dear - the faun - a problem here

The Mammal is her ancestor

Lets hope for her sake it revives

Or else that rock has changed our lives



The archeopteryx - “why care ?

What’s one less species here or there

Not either you or me my dear

Are any relative to that

Thing - she’s right - looks like a rat

The thing’s no ancestor of mine

Or yours - I’ll say we’ll be just fine



“put that rock down “ shouts the faun



“For goodness sake - what has she done ?

The thing’s not breathing

It is stunned “

“ I know the feeling “ says Tiresias

“that happens all the time round here

As I was saying - “

“lets be clear . This is not time to remenisc

Right now

That is the ancestor of mammals

Thats poets , rabbits , you and camels

No shepherds and no nymphs



“ no nymphs here anyway “ Tiresias

“ more’s the pity “

“ I think they’ve all gone to the city

“ I blame you “ “ I blame the EU

And the Germans “

“ I blame the shepherds - all they do

All day Is lean around on trees “

“well - we may come back to that

But first - we have to save this rat “



“ well use the urn to get some water “

“ we cant - the archeopteryx is in it

Shes’ not a bird to cross - she’ll bite me



“ I’ll go “ the Mothgirl says “ the bird

Can’t see me - or pretends she doesnt

Actually it is just to spite me - “



No time - the faun  we cannot risk it

Well go and throw it in the pool



The Early Mammal starts to speak ......







But right now - we must save the rat “
