MAY 6, higher connection: position as part-time monarch

 

MAY 5, (excursions): meanwhile, back in the great outdoors ...

MAY 4, homophonous verse: (hippo's) hip replacement

  

                                                       

Author's Note: Hip replacement has become a surgical procedure that is frequently performed in humans, and is making inroads into veterinary practice in dogs and cats. Its role in jungle creatures and zoo inhabitants remains to be developed, parenthetically.

APR 29, exemplification: hillbilly

Authors' Note: It sure warn't easy to pack the whole bunch of neighbors and pals into a single verse. Sad to say, I had to leave out the following:  bumpkins, crackers, chawbacons, clodhoppers, good-ol'- boys, hayseeds,  and yokels. I'll include 'em next time!
