The Duck Billed Platypus
Have you ever known a creature like
The platypus
More unusual than the average
Cat or mousycus
Though not the prettiest of creatures
It has some most endearing features
Like a shovel nose a secret pouch and
Webbed shaped toes of courseicus
It lays eggs not in a nest or on a bed
Of course
But by the dozen almost square and in
Straight rows of course
So if you ever catch sight of my dear platypus
Though not so ugly as a wart hog or
Hippy Party Mouse
Do be kind and let me know because
I’ve lost one and I’m most unhappicus…. x
