Long Dodos Poems

Sneaking into the museum to avoid the sudden rain
Raisin said, “I don’t want to get soaked right through again,
It was bad enough when that truck through that puddle dashed
And you and me - but mainly...

Two of the wackiest guys I know,
	live two doors down, 
		           one flight below

Tall is one, the other is short
One chirps loud all the time...

It started out with one good boy,
A prehistoric, funny, little plushie toy,
His name was Gary, quite refined,
A murder floof with teeth aligned (yikes)!
They dressed him up in bowtie class,
He promptly bit a Swissman's—ahem—pass ;)
And now...

Been in a chokehold
This world can be so cold
Lucky if you can grow old
Often things shook up like a snow globe
Do you know what it's like to have no home?
On the population a government spies,...

What am I? I am nothing!
What colour is the sky? What colour is the sea.
Are they  seeming the same colours as you and me see
I think the sky is silver with a lining?
But to...

Suddenly I feel at war with my Country,
Country of origin, land of my birth,
Fortunate senior, not long for the Earth.

Patriot lust to kill natives still lingers,
Mass racial prejudice never will end,
Does man exist I would...

Like me, you surely know about the history of our island
You surely know of the time when it was being colonized
When it was still a dark and green forest
With dodos making everywhere their careless nests

Give a man a sea-kitten,
And you feed him for a day.
Teach a man how to sea-kitten,
And PETA will make him pay.

I guess there isn’t much to say,
We’re gonna eat them either way,
Because the message here...

Dinosaurs, Dodos, Quaggas, Night Herons
 exist no more.
The roar of Lions, whinny of Zebras, bleat of Giraffes
And the hum of ostriches are all on the verge of demise.
The faith of the giant trees that canopied...

With compass and sextant, paper and ink,
Bungaree, Nanbaree, Matthew and George
and a cat and a crew were at sea.
They went sailing and sailing, around and around
in Eighteen Hundred and Three.

The Investigator’s navigator calculated space
by meridians...

The Dodo, it’s curious
Lived down in Mauritius
A bit east of Madagascar,
You can’t get there with your car.

It’s an island, and it’s quite remote
But you wouldn’t need an overcoat
You won’t get there with your time machine
Unless...

How much doe could a dodo blow if a dodo could blow dodo doe?
A dodo would blow as much doe as a dodo could blow dodo doe....

How could you know what a dodo would blow
when...

KILIMANJARO

Almost lost.  Scanty  ice below equator,
Trackless wilderness of ice and fire.
Africa’s king.  I’ve climbed none  higher.
Kilimanjaro  with majestic  crater

Like the  long-gone  dodos,  -   ...

I will never be extinct, but I do nest
with the dodos
We all come from the same existence,
the same timeless egg.

The dodos sing to me, their voices,
are unpleasant to the ear, but
their future is eternal,
as long...

[Mr Google assures me that the plural of Dodo is dodos or dodoes]

Do dodos do doo doos
Not any more
But dodos did do doo doos
They did doo doos on the floor

But dodos doing doo doos
Dropping doo...
