I’m a little hoarse this morning.

\*I know the animals…are laughing at us  
They don’t even know…what a joke is  
I won’t follow…animals’ advice  
I don’t care…if they’re laughing at us

They say they don’t need money  
They’re living on nuts and berries  
They think they know what’s best  
They’re making a fool of us\*

– “Animals,” Talking Heads (1979)

_We walk on two legs not on four  
To walk on four legs breaks the law  
What happens when we break the law?  
What happens when the rules aren’t fair  
We all know where we go from there  
To the house of pain!_

I’m a sweet, friendly Moray Eel.

If you’ll just wave to me and dangle those juicy delicious fingers of yours right outside the entrance to my underwater aquarium lair, I’m sure we could get _much_ better acquainted…!

( Mmmm… fingers look just like shrimp…)
