A duck-billed platypus Is bathing on the bus She left her favorite stream To join our swimming team She did so well last year Her lane was free and clear Until the final leg When Platy laid an egg The hippopotami Don’t eat the platy pie Because the hippo bake Is better served with cake The platy pie who pluck Are eating Peking duck Because the ducks that pry Are...
