humbaba poem

Humbaba took a look at Ur,
And she liked what she saw, mainly.
But presently she became astir;
A sense of something missing, plainly.

She looked around, saw ground, saw sky.
And those were fine and good.
She looked around, saw trees spry,
But her foreboding withstood.

All at once, she said "Aha!"
As inspiration hit her.
She leaned down, formed a piggy paw,
Followed by a body, and some fur.

She made a little blue thing too,
With neon wings aflutter,
And from it, milk withdrew,
Followed by butterfly butter.

And finally, last, not least,
Made a little chickie small,
And fed it grain, a feast,
Till it was biggest of them all.

Humbaba took a look at Ur,
And liked what she saw, wholly.
The land now buzzed, and contained fur,
and Humbaba smiled fully.

I know, don't tell me - WAYYYYYY too much time on my hands.

    "Humbaba is the giant who rules both two-legged and four-legged beasts. Actually, she rules all the beasts with even-numbered quantities of legs. The odd-numbered ones are on their own."
