trio for weird word lovers

ectrodactyly

if you have ectrodactyly

your hands are all forked up

bur climbing trees will be a breeze

and handling a handleless cup.

scutellum

small shields enplate the taloned bird

and end when feathers begin

and armadillos? o my word

to say they have no sin.

emu

an em’s a space in linotype,

and mu’s a grecian letter.

let’s fuse them as a metaphor

for the chi-miracle that has occurred

with the creation of a bird.
