Poem for Tuesday and Fairbank Farm Animals

Ooh!
By Shel Silverstein

I petted the baby gnu-nu-nu,
I petted the cute cockatoo-too-too,
I petted the kid kangaroo-roo-roo
I petted the owlet too, too-woo,
I petted the skunklet, too--pee-yoo,
Then I did what one should never do-do-do:
I petted the tigerlet too, ooh--ooh!
Won’t somebody please tie my shoe?
Boo--hoo.

We watched most of the Phillies game around and through dinner, which was lopsided but exciting anyway. Then we watched some more Suits, which reminds me at different times of Boston Legal and Billions if the first were a little less crazy and the second were a little less venal, with none of the things that usually end up annoying me in lawyer shows and really enjoyable female characters.
