Invasive Species Feed on Easy Rhymes at Lake McDonald: an Ovillejo
An Ovillejo poetry composed by Jake Sheff
How do grizzlies ask for lunch?
“Thanks a bunch!”
How do fish get books we banned?
Secondhand.
What do glaciers wear for shoes?
Mixed reviews.
Summer proves we need not choose
Shady business practices:
Lakes have ears; ‘twas ever thus.
Thanks a bunch, secondhand mixed reviews.
