WHAT'S GNU AT MY ZOO due in 2009

ADVANCE MATERIAL FROM THIS COMING BOOK:  please critique!

ARE YOU BLACK OR WHITE?
You have black stripes, or are they white,
are zebras seen best, day or night?
Do you want to hide,
the meat that's inside
or stump your foes on where to bite?

  PORCUPINES
The slow moving and kindly porcupines
  need protection from their woodland foes,
  so God covered them with prickly spines
  from their stubby tail, clear to their nose.
I've consulted experts in Natural History
  for solutions to this puzzle, I'm thinking of;
  with all their prickly quills, this mystery,
  how the heck do porcupines make love?

SO PLEASE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? SEND THOUGHTS

      NONSTOP TALKERS
Selfish talkers must always speak,
      and they will ramble on and on.
The audience these pests seek
      crave ways to be quickly gone.
Should they questions as they spoke
      good conversations might begin.
Letting others talk or tell a joke,
      is courtesy and not a sin.
