Dear you,
What at first seemed ludicrous, why it naturally feels less so now. A tricky pose to hold, I grant you, but, well, with little other choice, 'twas my only way of passage. Front right paw could do with a stretch but they tell me we will be in Oslo soon. Sweet relief is the prospect!
Fountain pen in mouth no way to write (even for this ol' snow leopard) and the boat she is rickety.
Hold that position,
twitch not,
