Hairball Haiku Friday!



Today is the first Haiku Friday focused on the treasures found in the Mayborn Museum's curiosity cabinets. This important program was initiated by Dr. Blaine McCormick, a noted author, and poet. Each week, he and I will offer haikus on an object from the curiosity cabinets, and then invite your own haikus.

This week: Hairballs from the stomachs of buffalo and cows.

Here is Dr. McCormick's:

Three hair concretions
Trichobezoar masterworks
Bovine lingual art

and mine:

Vaguely familiar...
Oh, yes! McHairball Snack Wrap
McDonald's drive-thru!

Now, it is your turn...

Now I have learned that
Buffaloes clean themselves just
As cats clean themselves.

Petrified hairballs
I see 2 eyes and a nose
Buffalo not found

never in my life did I think I would try to haiku about bovine hairballs - yuck!

AZ - last week I saw a deer preen one of my cats. I suspect this means deer can also create hairballs?

Deer licking the cat?
That's worse than hairball photos.
What if they have kids?
