Wednesday Puzzler with no picture? What?!
Let's show the picture later this evening, after I finish my computer class. Remember, I'm blocked from blogspot domains at work, so I can't respond until 8:00 pm or so today.
So, who am I?
My group is big.
I am small.
I eat alot, but not a pig.
You might find me on a wall.
But a rock, bottle, or turtle will do.
Sessile I, hermaphroditic too.
This may sound rude,
but I get my food,
by glueing my head to something stout
and use my feet to kick food into my mouth.
(Whew! I think my poetic license just got revoked.)
Gotta run, life is calling!

I think you must be Barnacle Bill!
Would that be Barnacle Bill the Sessiler?
I think this one lasted less than an hour.
Very creative, FC. The poem is fine, I especially like the line ...and use my feet to kick food into my mouth...
It has a certain joie de vivre.
Well, I was totally clueless. I even looked up "sessile". Good one!
I looked up all the words and have to agree with everyone else...It's a grown up barnacle.
You sure are a good poet!
doggone it, I came too late. Barnacle, of course. A crustacean!
I would never have guessed that but I did like your poetry.
Heh!
Very good guessers! Obviously, either my poetry skills are excellent or I gave too many clues...or you are all just really smart.
The ever practical hermaphroditic barnacles have one other claim to fame that I won't mention here as it is of a rather...um, personal nature and this site strives to stay in the G or PG ratings.
Look it up yourself...
It was the little feet kicking in the food that gave it away. At least for me. I did like the poetry, btw.
fcxwx - FC, xwx? I thought this was a family site.
Wayne,
I act this out in my Marine Science classes to the howls of my students...I look akin to a fool, but they remember it.
I am oldschool...poetry rhymes or it's not really poetry.
