Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Platypus and Echidna

Make room for the platypus and echidna
Only found in Australia, cha cha cha!
With body temps lower than other animals
They are the earth’s only egg laying mammals

Move over, for they are waddling through.
Here is one, two, seven, eight, sixteen, twenty-two
They have such a small face, and hair on their back.
They waddle right over, without politeness or tack.

Make room for the platypus and echidna my friends.
They are living down under, where loveliness never ends. 
We like watching them lay their eggs, they do not mind a bit.
But if we dare disturb them, they would have a fit!
