"BE THE FIRST TO GUESS THEM ALL"

Bob Says: "Read them carefully, and decide the identity of each creature telling us what happened to them. You won't need the list of names for all of them. Some you'll recognise straight away. I have tried to write about as many sections of the Human and Animal worlds as I can, so some of the creatures (Both Human and Animal) are a bit obscure, and I will be very surprised (and impressed) if you do get them all.

Bob is convinced no one will get them ALL!
"OR WILL YOU?"

Bob thinks it's too easy with names and! photos as clues...So we have increased the number of names, and the photos.
Some people say it's easy...Others say it goes right over their heads...Some object to the inferences...Why?

Remember The Lines Are NOT! Just About Animals - And ALL! of this stuff is going on day, after day. Please Note: The two 'Royals' currently represent ordinary people that the same thing is happening to; once again...every day...Although when Bob wrote the Diana verses, he did so with her specifically in mind. It could easily have been thousands of Women around the world, but, that's what this particular creative mind came up with at the time click here to read Bob's account... For the mysteries, use Bob's descriptions to make your choice, and to get the message, and the premise. click here to read the rules They are quite entertaining in there own right.

(The Series of Poems)

Creature 1
I saw a group of humans
I saw them check the list
In clean white coats
They checked their notes
I hoped I might be missed

I hear the group of humans
I hear the tests they planned
“Spray the eyes
Until it cries"
It’s more than I can stand

I feel the group of humans
I feel them grab my ears
I feel despair
They just don't care
I can't see through my tears

Creature 2
I saw a group of humans
I saw them at my set
But now they sit
Around this pit
I saw them place the bet

I hear the group of humans
I hear them plan those deeds
"No more waiting
Start the baiting” Muzzles off!...
now leads!

I feel the group of humans
I feel my foot so sore
I had no chance
I had to dance
They nailed me to the floor

Creature 3
I saw a group of humans
I saw my hearts desire
Beguiled, Recruited
Courted, Suited
Saw my children's sire

I hear the group of humans
I understand the plot
To take my name
and bring me shame
Then hang me out to rot

I feel the group of humans
I feel them closing ranks
Feel such abuse,
from royal use
Without so much as thanks

Creature 4
I saw a group of humans
I saw one change his shape
He showed his sword
The audience roared
He had it in his cape

I hear the group of humans
I hear the crowd applaud
I hear them ranting
Shrieking, panting
Calling for the sword

I feel the group of humans
Feel weak my blood is spilled
Feel ropes to tow me
From the ring ole`
The crowd is thrilled

Creature 5
I saw a group of humans
I swam across to see
To lead and play
Then swim away
I tried but I'm not free

I hear the group of humans
I hear the order snap
''Start the Winches
Haul the nets ''
I cried inside my trap

I feel the group of humans
I feel a heavy hand
Feel confusion
Feel betrayed
I tried to understand
© Copyright Bob Richardson 1991-2009

Creature 6
I saw a group of humans
I saw them raise the gun
Felt the pain
Heard the noise
Tried but could not run

I hear the group of human
I hear them next to me
“Tusks and feet
and leave the rest"
I tried but could not flee

I feel the group of human
I feel them near my jaw
Feel them cutting
Feel them pulling
Tried but felt no more

Creature 7
I saw a group of humans
I saw each members face
Perverse with pleasure
Smiles and leisure
Saw a hiding place

I hear the group of humans
I hear a frenzied shout.
“Tally ho! He’s gone to earth
We’ll have to dig him out”

I feel the group of humans
I feel them drag me back
They freed me just
To quench a lust to
Stand and watch the pack
© Copyright Bob Richardson 1991-2009

Creature 8
I saw a group of humans
I saw the thin disguise
They seemed so friendly
They'll defend me
Then I realized

I hear the group of humans
I hear their weak excuse
“Give her what she’s begging for”
That justified my use

I feel the Group of humans
I feel them violate
I’m left with Pain,
Dishonour, Shame
And now they celebrate

Creature 9
I saw a group of humans
I saw them swing the club
Saw him weeping
Saw him bleeding
I saw them kill my cub

I hear the group of humans
I hear a callous laugh
"Skin it now Forget the cow
She’ll soon be back in calf"

I feel the group of humans
I feel my baby’s pain
Feel the torture
Feel the hatred
Feel man's come again

Creature 10
I saw a group of humans
I saw them stop the truck
Saw them taking
Looting, Breaking
Saw my thumb and sucked

I hear the group of humans
I heard the plans they made
To send the driver
and his truck
To bring them back more aid

I feel the group of humans
I felt them strike my hand
It spun me round
To eat the ground
I asked for rice not sand

Creature 11
I saw a group of humans
I saw them stand and wave
Some were dancing
Some were praying
Some asked God to save

I hear the group of humans
I hear chaotic cheers
And then I heard,
what seemed absurd
The sound of boos and jeers

I feel the group of humans
The axe fell with a thud
Feel insurrection,
disaffection
My knees are soaked in blood

Creature 12
I saw a group of humans
Enticing to consume
Enchanting media
Smarter greedier
I saw the spending boom

I hear the group of humans
They plan to take their share
By raising rates,
and prices up; to
what the markets bear

I feel the group of humans
How brutally they sue
If I can’t pay,
if I won’t pay
They'll have my life in lieu.

Creature 13
I saw a group of humans
they gave me quite a fright
with Gillies, walkers,
hounds and stalkers
That’s when I took flight

I hear the group of humans
I hear them far away
I hear them, smell them,
sense them, fear them
Hear them come my way

I feel the group of humans
I feel them bring me down
To raise the thrills,
and average kills
They used a long range gun

Creature 14
I saw a group of humans
Their limo looked so grand
I saw their lap tops,
clipboards, phones
I knew what they had planned

I hear the group of humans
I hear the boss man scoff it.
"Employ the children,
pay low rates,
and maximize our profit"

I feel the group of humans
Feel desperate to be freed
The only life
my family know,
A product of their greed
© Copyright Bob Richardson 1991-2009

Creature 15
I saw a group of humans
They came in to collect
They move so quickly
through my space
They showed me no respect

I hear the group of humans
I hear the usual chat
"Take what It's laid and
leave the mess,
it's happy where it's sat"

I feel the group of humans
They pushed me off my eggs
So now I sit in
un-cleared mess
that burns my breast and legs
© Copyright Bob Richardson 1991-2009

Creature 16
I saw a group of humans
I saw them clap and sneer
I saw them pay the one I know
To prod me with a spear

I hear the group of humans

As I show the one I know
Just how well I dance

I feel the group of humans
Feel anguish I feel hate
He filed my teeth,
and pulled my claws
To make me safe to bait
© Copyright Bob Richardson 1991-2009

Creature 17
I saw a group of humans
I saw them bring my feed
With bucket, scoop, and funnel
A huge amount of seed

I hear the group of humans
Discussing how to feed
"Hold the funnel, stroke it's neck,
start scooping in the seed"

I feel the group of humans
They're forcing me to feed
They pushed the funnel
down my throat
To satisfy there're greed

Creature 18
I saw a group of humans
I saw them leave the ship
They came with guns,
and rope, and chain
I also saw a whip

I hear the group of humans
Hear foreign tongues decide
"Leave the children and the old,
and chain the rest inside"

I feel the group of humans
I feel them strike my back
I feel the pain, the whip, the chain
Secure me to the rack
© Copyright Bob Richardson 1991-2009

Creature 19
I saw a group of humans
Saw my field of fire
Saw the mortar
Saw the sniper
Took my aim and fired

I hear the group of humans,
question my decision
Destroy their group
To save my troop
and give them my position

I feel the group of humans
I feel a silent knife
I feel them searching
for the map
I'd paid for with my life

Creature 20
I saw a group of humans
I saw them come my way
There’s something missing
Something’s wrong
They usually bring my hay

I hear the group of humans
I listen with dismay
“It’s off to market,
only mark it,
no more feed or hay.”
