    I’ll just lay down on this branch,
    Yawn, and take a nap.

    One word of advice:
    Though it may be quite tempting
    Do NOT bite the tail.

    Yawns cause other yawns
    “X”cellent photography
    Zen can produce zen.

    (Not much for elegance, but I originally hoped to do an X/Y/Z sequence and this was the closest. which came to my rusty slide-rule of a brain)

      Not just the tail, with his overall black and red coloring, he looks like a giant woolly bear caterpillar.

    Red rings on his tail
    Detract me from asking for
