so farewell then, hideous scaly beast
terrible news! The lady komodo dragon at London Zoo has died in miserable, lovelorn, circumstances (s'practically Shakespearean if you ask me):
'Six-feet-long Nina, who weighed 44lbs, died after scrambling up an eight foot dividing wall to reach her mate in the other side of the pen.'
'A zoo spokesman said Nina's action was "both spontaneous and entirely out of character".'
This is merely one tragic example among literally TWO regarding crazed animals called 'Nina' dying in zoos. The other being the polar bear at Bristol Zoo who just got bored and went mad, ultimately bashing her head repeatedly against the wall until she was no more.
have a drink my hedonistic chums....for the randy-but-inept-dragon, shed a tear for the lonely, listless bear penned up in all-too-finite circumstances.... and remember, always support your local zoo.
