Definition of Gnu

  A hunter from Kew caught a distant view
      Of a peacefully meditative gnu,
  And he said:  'I'll pursue, and my hands imbrue
      In its blood at a closer interview.'
  But that beast did ensue and the hunter it threw
      O'er the top of a palm that adjacent grew;
  And he said as he flew:  'It is well I withdrew
      Ere, losing my temper, I wickedly slew
      That really meritorious gnu.'
