Notes About The Poem

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be

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.
