THE PLATYPUS

HOW GENTLE IS THE PLATYPUS,
IT NEITHER GROWLS NOR MAKES A FUSS,
BUT LIES IN ITS PRIMEVAL OOZE
AND HOLDS THE MOST PACIFIC VIEWS;
A LOVING CREATURE, LOVED BY ALL,
IT HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO BRAWL;
WHICH MAY, OR MAY NOT, BE THE ROISON
FOR ITS TWO GLANDS OF DEADLY POISON.

Where learned: AUSTRALIA ; TOORAK ; VICTORIA

Subject headings: Ballad Song Dance Game Music Verse -- Prose Narrative C820.442

Date learned: 00001968 FALL
