Transcript

• They say it takes a mighty frame
  To truly feel great thirst...
  And their frame puts a whale to shame:
  These frames so fit to burst.
• And hunger, I have heard it said,
  Takes hold when there is toil.
  And Veetan life seems overfed
  In labor... and its spoils.
• The Veetan stomach goes for miles
  In belly laughs when filled
  But there are moments between smiles
  When aching hunger builds
• And when it comes, it's not a toy,
  Not cute, not something dear:
  A Veetan eating is not joy
  But more like "abject fear."

• - Seamus McCarthy
• First human poet to watch a Veetan eat up close

• Skitter: myaaaAH!
