    I am a shrew
    I see a leaf
    With yummy nectar for a feast
    I lick the glue
    But I feel funny
    I’ve got a rumbly in my tummy
    Good, it’s true
    It has a hole
    Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
    And so I poo
    I feel no sorrow
    I’ll come and lick this plant tomorrow

      This plan started as a toilet, until one day it asked… Why should I not bite the hand that feeds me? And it worked.

      Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.

      The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.
