Don't worry; Christopher Isherwood got confused as well:

The Common Cormorant, or Shag,
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason, you will see (no doubt),
Is to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never realised, is that herds
Of wand'ring bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

Does this post indicate that Claymore is back from her summer cruise, or just paused for a wee while to check out what's happening on the forum?
