Threesome
We call him 'Duck-billed Platypus', and mock him for his name,
And yet he does not mind it, he does not feel the shame,
Because he does not know himself by such a title.
He's a 'Golden Shining Lovebird' In Duckbill-Platypese.
The Hummingbird, he has no song.
From flower to flower he hums along.
Among the Jacaranda Trees,
He finds no words for what he sees.
Lines on meeting a Portuguese Man-'O-War while bathing:
I do not care to share the seas with Jellyfishes such as these.
Especially Portuguese.
Originally from the album 'The Bestiary of Flanders and Swann'.
