“I ain’t gonna attorn to no railway man’s claim-jumpin: fancy govment deed or not; it’s my ranch, been mine nigh on to 20 years and I might even let you build your train if ya don’t do nothing to upset the ungulates”, but, despite the brave façade, the old homesteader was a percipient man and that night, weary and with bent back, home he ranged and sought the nepenthe he had always found in the circle of his stout wife’s arms.

"Just between you and me , this arid soil is completely unsuitable for bisons, cows and other ungulate cattle", I percipiently lamented as I attorned my check to the new land owner, "but I am too lazy, tired and intoxicated with nepenthe to herd them to greener pastures."

I know not what nepenthe I partook of last night, but it made me so non-percipient that when I woke up this morning I realized I had attorned all my ungulates to a total stranger; Nick, my donkey, and Duppy and Nuggle, my beloved pet duikers, were all sold and I had no recollection of doing so!
