By the same system, the old word crevis is now spelled and pronounced crayfish , even though it’s not very fishlike. The Spanish cucaracha became a cockroach , and most wonderfully of all, the Indian mangus became a mongoose , although there’s not a huge similarity between the furry, snake - devouring mammal and a goose.
“That's just it: I don't know. I always thought I did. I mean, I'm a kid whose father just happens to be one of the hottest pilots in the galaxy, whose mother is the leader of the New Republic, whose twin brother and sister just happen to have more Jedi potential than anyone else at the academy under the age of sixteen, and whose uncle also happens to be the most powerful Jedi Master alive. You know-I'm just an average kid.”
“And now?" the furry Jedi Master prompted.
“Now I'm beginning to wonder. I've been having dreams about the dark side. I want to become a good Jedi and use the powers of the light side, but in my dreams, the Emperor and Darth Vader have claimed me for the dark side. What if it's true? What if I can't escape it?”

That Little Beast
That pretty little beast, a poem,
has a mind of its own.
Sometimes I want it to crave apples
but it wants red meat.
Sometimes I want to walk peacefully
on the shore
and it wants to take off all its clothes
and dive in.
Sometimes I want to use small words
and make them important
and it starts shouting the dictionary,
the opportunities.
Sometimes I want to sum up and give thanks,
putting things in order
and it starts dancing around the room
on its four furry legs, laughing
and calling me outrageous.
But sometimes, when I’m thinking about you,
and no doubt smiling,
it sits down quietly, one paw under its chin,
and just listens.
"We could become little furry creatures with little furry brains. Full of dumb, uncomplicated affection for each other. Playful, careless creatures in their own cosy zoo for two. A silly symphony for people who couldn't bear the pain of being human beings any longer. And now, even they are dead, poor little silly animals. They were all love, and no brains."

If I were a bear
And a big bear too
I shouldn’t much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn’t much mind
If it snowed or friz -
I’d be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I’d sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.
