Thank you AisonDonut

We need to add this to the carol list

There is nuffing nuffing, nuffing like a puffling,
Gerbils, gulls and quokkas all agree,
Hear the capybaras wuffling,
and the moose and android gruffling,
as we wait for Beetle to come back for tea

Nuffing, nuffing, nuffling like a puffling

etc - I'm sure others have more poetry in their souls

Yay, well done! 👏👏👏

I probably need this as my ringtone.

I think you should have included a line about a snuffling hedgehog

I feel very “exclude” <sulky back thing>

When I was a teenager, we lived in a bungalow in the country, and one night I woke my dad up because I was convinced someone was standing in the flowerbed outside my bedroom window - I was too scared to look out myself.

He got a torch and went outside to check, and the 'intruder' turned out to be a hedgehog, snuffling very loudly in the flowerbed, eating slugs, rather than an axe murderer about to come into my room.

I think it was Robert A Heinlein who theorised that, as cats always fall on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down, if you strapped a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat, and dropped it, you'd create a perpetual motion machine.

What about me! Not even a crumb 😁

I used the AI to get as many as you in. Apologies, cake, I forgot to include you.

Moose is in hind legs in one image and serving drinks. Sorry I did mention the gerbils.

Errol is either tiny or invisible and they've added a snail inexplicably.

There is nuffing nuffing, nuffing like a puffling,
Though hedgehog when she's snuffling,
comes quite near
(she's a dear),
See Degu and Pigeon dancing,
Spartypuss and Donut prancing,
As on one sentiment they all agree

There

Is

Nuffing, nuffing, nuffling like a puffling

nuffing

nuffing at all . . .

Oh come, someone write a verse for cake and anyone I've inadvertently snubbed.

Marie should be in there, loads of others too

Donuts are on the cake spectrum, I'm okay with sharing.

Someone shut the cellar door please...

The spongy one has spake
Here's a poem for a cake.

Judging by the bird on the bar in picture 3, Magpie and I appear to have a secret love child.

Thanks dean <hedgehog kiss>

Although the eponymous Errol was a swamp dragon (small, but not quite that small), there are of course invisible pink dragons and anyone who says there aren't is a heretical bigot.

I've arrived late at the Stockin', there was a power cut and - d'you when you know something intellectually, but it hasn't quite percolated into proper knowing... well, I was surprised that I couldn't get on the internet, although I know perfectly well that wifi needs electricity🙄

And there's so much cleverness to catch up on, you are such a clever lot!

Thank you for mentioning me, Deano, but I think it's my own damn fault for picking a username that doesn't involve fur or feathers.

I'm regretting it as much as I regret my gmail address, which seemed like a great idea at the time, as it's an Irish version of our family name, but of course completely baffles anybody who doesn't speak Irish.

Marie de Gournay seemed like a good idea because I was reading her at the time but it's too human for the Bluestocking, isn't it?
Maybe I should change it to something from the animal kingdom, pref a rodent..
Bunni's short-tailed bandicoot rat for instance- there has to be a username in there somewhere😄

Plus, in AI world, there are invisible beetles, invisible magpies, invisible women (HA!) ....

@MarieDeGournay you could just identify as something?

I thought Marie de Gournay identified as a French philosopher called Marie de Gournay ....

I mean, I don't actually identify as a moose. I just pretend to be one 😃

I've just filled in an online survey which asked
Do you identify as M/F/Non-binary/Other -
I should have written in Bunni's short-tailed bandicoot rat😂
