Tadpoles can't count at all, as they have no extremities for assistance. Tadpoles have two forelimbs...it is polliwogs that have no extremities.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

The Barometer
"A loaf of bread," the Tadpole said,
"Is what I chiefly need: Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed-- Now if you're ready, Barnacle dear, I can begin to feed." "But not on me!" the Barnacle cried, Turning a little blue. "After such kindness, that would be A dismal thing to do!" "The night is fine," the Tadpole said. "Do you admire the view? "It was so kind of you to come! And you are very nice!" Robert Crantz said nothing but "Cut us another slice: I wish you were not quite so deaf-- I've had to ask you twice!" "It seems a shame," the Tadpole said, "To play him such a trick, After we've brought him out so far, And made him trot so quick!" Robert Crantz said nothing but "The butter's spread too thick!" "I weep for you," the Tadpole said: "I deeply sympathize." With sobs and tears he sorted out The trolls of the largest size, Holding his pocket-handkerchief Before his streaming eyes. "O Barnacle," said the Tadpole, "You've had a pleasant run! Shall we be trotting home again?' But answer came there none-- And this was scarcely odd, because They'd beaten every one. |

Very kind of you Mr Crantz, but Bill the barnacle has already
admitted he's an oyster.

Very kind of you Mr Crantz, but Bill the barnacle has already admitted he's an oyster. If you irritate him sufficiently, do you suppose he'll come up with a pearl? -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
