    Squid & Owl Cover
    The Owl, you know, is a sort of BIRD
    Stigiformes!
    An Owl! Not a Nightingale or Bat
    The Owl is Nocturnal
    Its diet: mammalian;
    'Muscular' - from the Latin for mouse
    These mice, you find them hard to swallow?
    The squid, you know, is jet-propulsive
    Highly intelligent, somewhat repulsive.
    Surely romantic, since triple-hearted
    Now I'll teach a few more terms
    From ungulate, browsing Northern moose
    This test will rule out mink and whale,
    Except the test's not watertight,
    Squid partake of cephalopodity.
    What? The lid's still not down tight?
    Considered qua their cuttle-quiddity
