"What do you call this thing? An #elcarabea?"

"Not my idea. The old scientist just smashed the names of his wife and daughter together. Elcara and bea."

"Were they THIS nosy?" He pushed the bird's face away, but it pressed its nose to his face, eyes gazing way too close.

strange goings on
in the north
since santa got hold of the gene splicer
tryna pimp his ride
the moosibou was a bit awkward
but the elk-caribou was so elegant
only a name like elcarabea would do
justice to the beast

Do you like to dance?
I asked with a grin
Just give me a chance
Do you like to dance?
I can elcararabea and prance
Let’s give it a spin
Do you like to dance?
I asked with a grin

The beautiful #elcarabea
such wonderful plumage
colours to sing for
David Attenborough
spotted two elcarabreas back in forty-two
two lovers entwined
in a jungle in his mind
He was so delighted
he nearly went blind

Beyond Fern Gully,
Elcarabea, desert
Of the kobold tribes.
