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.
