slow loris

I once met a  tiny slow loris
His name, interestingly, was Morris
He'd grip with all his might, and he had a poisonous bite
Sadly, his kind are dwindling in the forris(t)

In India there is another kind of slow loris
Err...its actually called "slow lorries"
They pile themselves with cargo, on the total load there is no embargo
For the regular traveller creating a lot of worries

I think I will have to brush up on my biology now. Had no clue slow loris was an animal! I thought it was just some kind of an idiom. But I do get the Madagascar reference!

Ha ha. In Venky we were having this 'which animal do you resemble' discussion once and I unanimously called a slow lorris (big eyes small face combined with lethargy).

Guess it's time to 'move it move it'.
