Q: How old are you and Sammy?
A: Well, I’m 9 and Sammy’s 11, so that makes us
20, right?
Q: Why do you spit at poor Sammy so much?
A: I don’t. That’s just a rumor Sammy likes to spread. In real
life, I almost never spit, unless somebody tells me to spit out my gum.
Q: Do llamas really chew gum?
A: Of course we do! People think we’re just
chewin’ our cud, but it’s really green bubble gum. Wanna’ see
some? It smells good, too.
Q: What do llamas like to eat?
A: That’s easy. Grass, fresh hay, oats, and peanut
butter and green leaves in between two pieces of pine bark. Yum!
Q: How come YOU can talk but Sammy can’t?
A: Sammy can talk, but he’s just shy around humans.
So I have to talk for him. When nobody’s around, I can hardly shut the guy
up!
Q: Why do llamas like to hum?
A: Well now, most people think it’s because we
can’t remember the words, but it’s really because we are very, very
humble creatures.
Q: Do you like being famous?
A: Not really. It just makes more humans gather round and
pester us. Of course, Sammy loves that, but I don’t. But I guess I DO like
to go to all sorts of new places most llamas don’t get to go to. I’m
a pretty curious kind of guy. And you humans are way amusing, I’ve got to
admit that.
Q: Why do llamas not like to have their faces
touched?
A: Cootie germs! Human hands are full of
them. Humans blow their noses into their hands on a little piece of paper, and
then they want to touch my face! Yuck! Sammy, on the other hand, says he
can’t see human cootie germs so he doesn’t believe you have them,
poor guy.
Q: How many pounds do you carry in your packs?
A: A bazillion pounds, which is two gazillion pounds more
than I like to carry!
Q: Is it true that you’re a poet?
A: Yes, I’m a poet, and don’t you just know
it!
A llama poet, & now I’ll show it.
When I tell you that
llamas play king of the castle,
One gets to be king, others the
“dirty rascal!”
The king has to stand up on top of a hill,
While the rascals run up and have quite a spill.
The llama on top tells
the others, “No way!
You can’t push me down for I’m king for
today!” |
Dudley: " Hey - Lady - Give - me - some of
that!

treats!
