Weird synchronicity: looking for something else, I discovered that there
is a Michael Moon Bear who teaches hand drumming

But I doubt whether that was what you were after.

How? Michael Moon Bear seems real enough, and I did indeed discover him
accidentally just before I read the question.

An etymological slug
Danced wholly unseen on a rug
Its slimy disportments
Exuded importance
But really it just wanted a hug.

I thenk you, laysgenmen.
