Please uncle Norris, may I have a pet lorris?jorrocks_jNovember 30 2007, 03:41:30 UTC
A lorris is so comforting at night: As it clambers and it swings through the house destroying things it's much better than a watchdog or a light.
Then how about a slug, uncle Norris? It's hardly more than just a little ooze. But unlike a common snail it leaves a silver trail as it slowly crawls across the evening news.
Think of how a gnu or tapir through the house would madly caper-- But my uncle says that's not where they belong. And grimly getting up he says he'll go and buy a puppy (I'd've settled for a puppy all along)
