Detail Has a Tail

}~~^

Word art completed by Valerie Balogh who doesn’t have a tail unless she forgets to tie her bathrobe of course.

I can’t seem to make heads or tails of the pails of random tails.

Are they real or fake?

Did someone collect them with a rake?

To find them all, how long did it even take?

Tails that are fluffy,

Tails that are rough,

Tails that have briars and stuff.

Tails that are fancy,

Tails that are thin,

Wild swirly tails, that make you grin.

Severed tails,

Longer or shorter tails,

Tails that resemble sailboat sails.

Tails that are reddish,

Tails that are brown,

Tails that probably would make you frown.

Tails that are mysterious,

Tails made into hats,

Tails that likely came from rats? 🐀

Next time you notice a detail,

remember that it has a tail at the end of detail and an “l” at the very end of detail. Also, if you bend the “l” ever so slightly, then it looks like a tail too!
