There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Kindly asking most of you here (won’t name names but rhymes with schmammer) to pause with the puns. It has gotten really bad with all the amateur punning lately. Let’s all settle down for a while and breathe. Then, when you least expect it, a good one might pop up from a pro.

In my opinion, personally, myself, to me, the stupidest, most "amateurish" puns, they're, they are the funniest to me.
