Platypus

Is Platypus a beaver? Or is it quacking duck  
Not proper as pet
What to feed this bizarre thing that is odd as 
An Australian, strange people the down under
Half criminal half saints 
They used to be impossible British Say, 1922. 
Their diet was egg& chips, now they are sophisticated 
Chips with curried sauce
Always willing to fight for the USA proud soldiers with 
tropical hats that make an easy target. 
More sheep than people so what do you expect they shear 
sheep and like it, chips fried in ewe fat.
The platypus takes no interest in this can it be made into 
a Vietnam duck, a country the Aussie were lured into invading. 
Australia is in a way a Platypus can`t make up its mind whether 
it is a far eastern country or a European settlement.
