Ode to the Duck-Billed Platypus

Ornithorhynchus anatinus
In all
Yo Spenda
Is a good alternative to sugar
For people like Vicki Zettel
In all
Her Spenda
They say you're evolutionary
Or even 'revoltionary'
All I know is
It's fun to pinch the skin
that hangs off
Your elbows
So when I'm up shit creek
Without a paddle
I take comfort
Knowing that you too
Display a birthmark
When you "duckdive"
