At first I thought
It’s a visual trick
But no! It’s a big old
Mizzou walking stick
This bad boy is at least
Six inches long
It can easily touch bottom
In Jersey Ed’s Bong
Phasmida Phasmatodea
Its taxonomic label
Better out on my deck
Than at my dining room table
Somewhere in Borneo
They grow up to eleven inches
That’s probably big enough
To eat the local finches
But really all they munch
Are blossoms and leaves
Letting the other creatures
Do as they please

For the record, I don't even know what a bong looks like, but I'll say you are teaching me quite an extraordinary lot about nature.
