| The Baldasacoot | |

I was doing the crossword just now with a dear friend and colleague. I had filled in one across, which was 'bald as a coot', but neglected to indicate the word-breaks. My friend peered at it and said, 'John, what's a baldasacoot?'. This inspired us to write the following nonsense! N.B. 'baldasacoot' shoud be stressed on the second syllable with an unvoiced 's' as in 'bald ASS a coot' Ha! Ha! Ha! Cheers! John X The Baldasacoot Have you ever heard the mournful hoot of a featherless baldasacoot, who in the daytime rarely sings, but when he tries to spread his wings, emits a lonesome sorrowful toot?
