On the Function of Sickle Claws
by Richard Cowen


My favorite pet is my raptor
With his instruments long, sharp and stout
He only does one operation,
My God, how the blood flows on out.


And if you recognize the inspiration for this masterpiece of  
functional morphology, shame on you!

Cheers

Richard
