Dead Ducks

The Brontosaurus had a brain no bigger than a crisp.
The Dodo has a stammer and the Mammoth had a lisp.
The auk was just to awkward, now they're none of them alive,
Each one, like man, had shown himself unfitted to survive.
Their story points a moral now it's we who wear the pants;
The extinction of these species holds a lesson for us ants.
