      1. Now I wax nostalgic:

        Once upon a midnight dreary,
        waiting for the owner, Cleary,
        to return and take me, weary,
        from the place and lock the door,
        in there came a hopping mammal!
        To the bar, and lit a Camel.
        Then, it ordered a martini.
        Damnedest thing I ever saw!
        “Vodka”, it said. “Stolichnaya.
        Pile the ice a little higher.
        Less vermouth, I like it drier.
        And an onion, por favor.”
        Thinking fast to gain a few bucks,
        from a ten I gave back two bucks,
        saying, “You’re an odd one, mister.
        Never seen your kind before.”
        “At these prices? Nevermore!”

        New York magazine had a reader contest to tell Henny Youngman’s joke about the kangaroo in the bar in the style of a famous author, and that was one of the winners. Now that’s what I call an animal with an order of its own!
