Edward Lear Animals

It was the  birthday anniversary of the artist and writer genius,  Edward Lear or as he would introduce himself, Mr Abebika kratoponoko Prizzikalo Kattefello Ablegorabalus Ableborinto phashyph.  
Born on the 12th of this month, 200 years ago,  there was a lot of discussion on Radio 4 LW about him..and it got me thinking..  :-D

A Hamel..is a camel,
with the head of a horse.
A Corse..is an animal
the other way around...of course!
The very ungainly looking Hamel
The almost feasable looking Corse

    1. Sorry Pascal..I didn´t put the manufacturer. The camel was from the Italeri Arab warriors and the horse from HaT´s Nubian cavalry.

  12. The mother in me wants to take them home and care for them because I'd worry that all the other animals would poke fun at them for being different and that would just be sad.

    Your a mad genius Paul!
