Different direction than I guessed. After the first panel, I thought it would be about the Loch Ness Monster.

There is a word for that. It is called a mondegreen.

And, of course, the reason they’re called ‘mondegreens’ in the first place: “laid him on the green” -> “Lady Mondegreen”.

The last panel speaks truth. I appreciate puns which involve some cleverness. This was just lazy.
