"Beastly Myths"


The adolescents gathered together,
giggling, over the cheap folio
of beastly myths:

the black-and-white dragon cat
whose breath weapon came out its bum,
the ludicrous duck-beaver with its venomous spurs
that supposedly laid eggs and nursed its young,
and the long-necked cow in orange polka-dots
that surely wouldn't survive with no means of defense.

"This is filly stuff,"
said the young centaur mare,
scratching her belly with a hind hoof.
"Nobody would ever believe in these!"

I love the twist at the end.

(And platypus, oh my god XD They really do look like someone a pre-teen would cobble together)
