having a harbinger of evil is a poor choice
for beginning hobbyists
the retractability of tails and toes
is striking and not well-known
the ability to regenerate claws
is noticeable and immediately told of
the rice field is smaller and smaller
and work is sparse
the Internet has a well-earned reputation
encountered by this waving
locomotion to return home
to the bay or rainforest or fields
unaware of a secondary load
well-suited to the body
