Oh dear, what can the matter be? I need a bit of help, you see ... A furry chum, quite unexpected, Is feeling sour and dejected. This is my old friend, Dear Platty, Very kind, but kind of bratty ... Always squawking like a duck, About the bill with which he's stuck. I told him that it's grand, unique! The special-est of special beaks! That any critter with fuzzy frill, Is well-endowed, with such a bill. For with that snout - beyond compare, He's such a special creature, rare! Still ... I need help with this old wuss, To place a smile ... on Platty's puss.

That's very sweet of you, Kim - I think some people think I'm ONLY about the dark and sensual stuff, but I enjoy kicking up the sand, too! ;-)
