Hilaire Belloc - The GnuHilaire Belloc - The Gnu
Work rating: Low


G stands for Gnu, whose weapon of defence Are long, sharp, curling horns, and common sense. To these he adds a name so short and strong, That even hardy Boers pronounce it wrong. How often on a bright autumnal day The pious people of Pretoria say, `Come, let us hunt the______` Then no more is heard but sounds of strong men struggling with a word; Meanwhile the distant Gnu with grateful eyes Oberserves his opportunity and flies.
