The Platypus
© Stephen Whiteside 05.10.10
He’s very shy, but not a wus,
The spur-heeled, duck-billed platypus.
He’s not the duck-billed pussyplat.
I do not think he would like that,
Or plussypat or patyplus.
There really isn’t an excus
For anything but platypus!

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
