Poem: The Duck-billed Platypus

The duck-billed platypus isn't easy to imagine,
of all the earthly creatures he is most unique,
lays eggs like a bird but suckles like an animal,
and swims like a fish at the bottom of a creek.

If you ask it why it behaves so confusingly,
It hides in a hole and simply will not speak,
All that I can say, it's a shy individual,
An oddity of nature and a very charming freak!
