 It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
 Tugging at banks, until they seemed
 Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,

 That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
 The breath of turgid summer, and
 Heavy with thunder's rattapallax,

 That the man who erected this cabin, planted
 This field, and tended it awhile,
 Knew not the quirks of imagery,

 That the hours of his indolent, arid days,
 Grotesque with this nosing in banks,
 This somnolence and rattapallax,

 Seemed to suckle themselves on his arid being,
 As the swine-like rivers suckled themselves
 While they went seaward to the sea-mouths.

Hmm... Frogs?  



Killer Meat-Eating Frogs Terrorize San Francisco
Wednesday, March 14, 2007





Meat-eating killer frogs have invaded a pond in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, leaving environmentalists wondering how to stop their deadly march before they move on to bigger waters.

The African clawed frogs have chomped through everything from turtles to fish in Lily Pond, near the California Academy of Sciences, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The frogs, which can grow up to 5 inches in length, have even gone cannibalistic.

"They've eaten everything they can get their mouths around, and now they're eating each other," Eric Mills of the animal-rights group Action for Animals told the newspaper.

Park officials have pulled some 2,500 of the frogs from the pond since 2003. They are taken to a fish and game facility where they are euthanized by a nerve poison, the paper said.

But the frogs keep coming back. Last week, the city's Animal Control and Welfare Commission voted to ask the city for cash to drain the pond and terminate the population once and for all, the paper reported.

"The fear is they will get out," Richard Schulke, president of the city's Animal Control and Welfare Commission, told the paper.
