Oct 16, 2009: Axolotls

I knew I'd run across this word before:

The Axolotl

I've never met an Axolotl
But Harvard has one in a bottle
Perhaps - and at the thought I shiver
The very villain from Fall River
Where Lizze Borden took an axolotl
And gave her mother forty whaxolotl.

-- Ogden Nash (of course)
