A black & white print of mostly cursive, black script with a scribbled drawing of an bird/lion type creature in the upper 1/4 of page. The text:
"the lion part
& that which is water lily, sea gull,
Heather, crimson-dotted butterfly,
Lizard, ant, and heart-shaped leaf,
White panther, lynx, marsh frog,
Grass, dogs, and little paradise beetles -
Oh it's a lot of business we have,
Being part and substance of everything
That lives! O yeas this tall trade of ours,
This business of being represented here
On earth in all these funny-wonderful
Shapes and guises such as ... well, ostriches,
Walruses, elephants and three-toes galuttos...
No, this business of being-alive
Is not really 9,824 feet long,
Or Alexander the Great (was it?) wide,
And Jesus Buddha Jonny Jepps high..."

It has a pale grey diagonally striped shirt, a belt with a buckle and red pants covering its short stumpy legs. On its wrists are white cufflinks and its left arm is wrapped around the 2nd with its hand resting on its shoulder.
