The Gnu; The Newt + 

The Gnu conspicuously wears + 

His coat of gnumerous bristling hairs, + 

While, as we see, the modest Newt + 

Of such a coat is destitute. + 

(I’m only telling this to you, + 

And it is strictly “entre gnu”) + 

In point of fact the Newt is nude, + 

And therefore he does not obtrude, + 

But hides in some secluded gnook, + 

Beneath the surface of the brook. + 

It’s almost more than he can bear, + 

To issue slyly from his lair, + 

And snatch a hasty breath of air, + 

His need of which is absolute, + 

Because, you see, he is a pneu‑t. + 
