Well, I couldn't let another wednesday go by without providing guidance for conscientious pet owners out there, who really need to know where not to bring their duck billed platypii, this is especially for Domestic Oubliette, who posed the question...
A poem which attempts to dissuade you from bringing your duck billed platypus to Spar
Don't bring your duck billed platypus to Spar
That trip, I'm afraid wouldn't get you too far,
With his unrealistic body, he's a freak not a star,
No, I wouldn't even attempt it
This flat footed friend has no need for a sambo
So there's no excuse for him to go in playing Rambo
Demanding nice biscuits, overpriced cans, No!
All your spare change, he'd have spent it
Sure remember the time that you took platypus
Over the one time to see 'toys R us'
and he said it was too bright, made such a fuss
Oh you wouldn't mind, only he meant it
So tell the platypus to shut his bill
It's not really that you'd wish him ill
But he might as well go waddle up the hill
I loved this, Niamh! It certainly dissuaded me!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it Talli!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it would be grand fun to own a duck-billed platypus. They are so Seussian, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid Platty is right about the bright lights of Toys'r'Us!
Great fun, as always.
