Sample Verse from "Platypus Stew."
Who built the Platypus? Ridiculous name!
Was it someone you know, just playing a game?
With fur from the beaver to help keep it warm,
They added webbed-feet to swim up a storm!
Perhaps you'll approve of its duck-like flat bill?
But young laid in eggs? . . . Well I never will!

Sample verse:
Never Say BOO to a Frilly:
Aussie Frillneck Lizards, are they Dinosaurs that live?
Or just some wretched lizards with nothing much to give?
Without a built in thermostat to regulate their heat.
Old Frilly has to wing it - and maybe even cheat.
He sits out in the morning sun and soaks up every ray,
Then stores that cozy feeling to keep night's chill at bay.
