Aardvarks have very poor sight
and eat many termites each night
50,000 they say
then they sleep through the day
after washing them down with a Sprite.
(they don’t really drink Sprite, but the 50,000 is accurate!)
Well, I’ve gone from A to Z and back again with animal, birds, and insect limericks. What to do next week? Answers please on the back of a £50 note!
It’s time again, for Kat Myrman’s wonderful challenge, to write a story, inspired by her picture prompt, in 280 characters or fewer.
Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution.

They didn’t seem to mind who heard them, and, in the glare of the lights, who saw them!
She’d never heard such grunting and groaning. It was all rather embarrassing!
Tomorrow she will adjust the security lights so they are not triggered by hedgehogs!

This is the first time ever that I have tagged a post with “sex”. It will be interesting to see how many new followers I get!
Faces and places and all sorts of things
Insects with feelers, and pincers, and wings
Birds in the sky and beasts in the fields
Each of them part of all that Earth yields.
This popped up in my Facebook “memories” today. I thought it may be of interest, even though it is rather a long read.
Not only do I talk to the trees, I talk to all manner of things.
Each morning I go for a walk.
I have various routes, but all take in fields, woodland, the River Erewash, the Erewash canal, bridges, a main road, and suburban streets.
Some days I hardly see a living soul, others I see far too many!
My normal route takes me down my road, which has only some 9 houses. At the bottom of the road I have my first conversation, with a brazen hussy who rolls on the ground and will not let me pass before she is satisfied. Somewhere close by her brother will be watching. He is more timid and undemanding. Their Mummy lives at the end house and thinks they are both boys!
I explain that I have to get on, and continue on my way. She follows, then runs ahead. It is…

My camel is really quite small
because he has no humps at all
He can’t store lots of water
the way that he oughta
so buys his supplies at a stall
Guess the name of my camel?
Humphrey!
(that’s twice in 4 weeks that I’ve used oughta)
Henry the hedgehog is hoarse
It’s due to his sore throat of course
He’s feeling quite sickly
His skin is all prickly
He shouldn’t have eaten that gorse!

Cute?
Sweet?
Ah, I want one just like that?
Well, let me tell you matey, this ain’t any of the above.
It is agony!
I have an itch on my nose that I cannot scratch, AND I’m bursting for a pee.
The minute I get out of here I’m going to pee in every shoe I can find!

I can see you Henry Roy James, and I know you can see me!
But you don’t recognise me.
You still think you got away with it, but really, you didn’t!
The jury may have believed you, but natural justice shall prevail.
You killed me, and I’m going to kill you.
Then I’m going to eat you!

A gibbon was singing aloud
he was talented, drawing a crowd
He lived in a ghetto
and sang high falsetto
His Mum and his Dad were quite proud
A cow with a pendulous udder
developed one hell of a judder
She drifted off course
bumped into a horse
and now steers her bum with a rudder!
Where shall we go today?
