13,226. SOMETIME SATURDAY SLATHER

SOMETIME SATURDAY SLATHER
In the jungles of the Firth of Forth
the Loch Ness Monster wanders. 
-
If that doesn't sound like a mere
exercise of words over running
waters of letters, nothing does.
-
In the Carnival of the Animals,
Camille Saint Saens did a good
job, but sometimes if it's the
version with all  the narration,
I'd rather just the music.
-
The idea was to personify each
of the named animals by the
idea of 'sound'  -  which was
meant to somehow capture
their qualities.
-
OK, but can a lion
roar like a cat?
