biologists are prone to sniff

at hybrids like the hyppogriff.

in evolution's plan, they say,

there is no place for such as they.

a horse with wings could not have more

than two legs, and this beast had four.

well, i for one am glad to waive

two of his legs, his wings to save.

i'd even sell my auto—if

i had one—for a hyppogriff.
