The Fiery Filoburse

Here, in  Cambridgeshire, it's vacation time - and it's intermittently raining. So perhaps it's a good time to add three more nonsense rhymes about Oddkreechers from Zudey's Interplanetary Zoo. You'll find the story of the zoo and its creatures HERE

This Rhyme is

The Fiery Filoburse

This is the Fiery Filoburse

From near the edge of universe;

Their outer coats flame red and blue

And other vivid colours too.

Now from their brilliance you can guage

How near these creatures are to rage.

For Filoburses live in heat

So violent that they can’t be sweet

Or calm, because they’re searing hot

Which makes them an ill-tempered lot.

So just imagine, in a cage

How violently such creatures rage.

But for the zoos cage-rage is great

For as more heat they generate

The creatures flash and incandesce

Which draws the crowds and oft the Press

Believing there must be sensation

In such a mighty conflagration.
