Sweet L

I like licorice
and lemon tarts.
I like licking lollipops
shaped in red hearts.
I love the tingle
on my lips
from eating lime-flavored
potato chips.
How about you?
What's the 'l' 
you like to do?

      I need a break from the bestiary, so I turned to foods.  I'll still get to an "L" animal poem, but my mind wants to think about it a little.  I think there are too many "L" animals--lions, leopards, lizards, loons.  What other animals can you think of with the letter "l" in their name?  Wolf, Owl, Caterpillar, or Angel fish?  If two of the animals had a conversation, what would they say?  Can you write a poem about it?
