It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Soon Kiki laid eggs in her nest

Re: Can We Do a Limerick Together???
I was thinking more along the lines of 'So Kiki was lost - OH! Hooray!!"
Soon Kiki laid eggs in her nest,
And proudly she squawked "They're the best!"
