tove

tove

Tove - a species of badger.
They had smooth white hair,
long hind legs, and short horns like a stag;
Toves lived chiefly on cheese.
-- they're something like lizards
-- and they are something like corkscrews. ...
They make their nests under sundials.
"Toves" should be pronounced to rhyme with "groves".
