I agree that we all owe Shaenon a debt of gratitude for creating Narbonic… but that stained glass gerbil is still adorable!

‘Tis the glass buttergerbil, now taking its flight,
To sit by my window and catch the sun’s light.
Alone of all rodents, this gerbil has wings,
And songs palindromic it cheerfully sings.

Our friend, Mr. Hudson, was clearly inspired
By dear Shaenon’s artwork, which all have admired.
With time and with effort, with copper and glass,
This lovely creation has now come to pass.

O dear buttergerbil, please brighten my day,
And stay by my window; do not fly away!
Implore Mr. Hudson to work ’round the clock
And finish his “Girlbot” for Diana Nock.
