Monkey monkey
You look wrong
mixed-up eyes
just don’t belong.
 
What a sight!
What’s the story?
One blue eye
in all its glory?
 
Are you weird?
A monkey freak?
An oddity?
A furry geek?
 
Or maybe you’re
a special kind
and one blue eye 
is quite refined?
 
Monkey monkey
you’re no fool.
Your one blue eye 
is pretty cool!

I am irate and deeply saddened by a recent announcement for a wolf kill contest in northern BC. Please read this open letter by photographer John Marriott and take whatever action you can, including your local ReMax agents. http://blog.wildernessprints.com/2012/11/wolf-kill-contest-in-bc.html

njwight: Because the insulating properties of their feathers eventually breakdown, Jackass penguins molt once a year and for this 21-day  molt cycle they are land-bound. To physically survive, they eat like crazy for 5 weeks before in order to increase fat stores. Psychologically, I am not sure how they prepare for the feather name-calling and ridicule. Penguins can be so cruel… ;-)
