the platypus

Don't ask me why I wrote this. I just want a platypus. :(

He glides through the water with all the elegance of a swan in flight.

The water ripples along behind his peculiar webbed feet.

People make fun of the way he looks.

I think he looks beautiful.

They call him a scrap animal and that he is made out of the scraps of other animals.

A Duck's bill, a water bird's feet.

A beaver tail, a dog's body.

His species lay eggs, like the birds do.

But he is not a bird.

He is a marsupial, like a possum.

He is a remarkable creature,

but not everybody notices.

His name cannot be said by the dizty celebrities.

I do not like Jessica Simpson.

She doesn't really use pro-activ.

But that does not bother the Platypus.

Because he isn't a teenager with pimples.

He is an animal that I love to pieces!

So I guess that means that I only like pieces of animals.

I only like the duck's beak and feet.

I only like the beaver's tail, his teeth are funny though.

I only like the dog's body, without the fleas of course.

But I love every bit of the Platymapus.

I mean platypus.

I spelt it right.......

I just got side tracked for that moment.

Thinking about tuna.

I do not like the Tuna Fish.

They have staring eyes.

And they freak me out.

But I like the platypus.

And no fish can change that!

So don't even try.

Don't ask me why I wrote this.

Because i really don't know.

I'm just drinking pepsi and,

That does funny things to your head.

But the main point of this collection of words,

Too sinful to be called a poem.

Too senseless to be called a story.

The point of it all is to let you know,

I want a pet platypus.

And when I get one,

Once you buy me one,

I will call him Woofels.

Or Woofles.

I'm not sure how to spell it.

But oh well.

You get the idea.

Now go buy me a platypus!

This was incredibly random, and slightly confusing. Platypi are cool, but I doubt that they would make good pets. Did you know they have a poisonous spur behind their front flippers, that they use to stun prey? ouch.....

Oh my god, Lucy XD

I love this poem, maybe because I'm the REAL platypus (people that were in the chatroom with Aet and I would get it ^.~)

Did you know that the Platypus is God's joke?? XD

Platypi are awesome, I don't blame you for wanting one ^.^

Sorry...this isn't a critique...but I don't think many would really be able to since it really is quite random XD

love ya Lucy ^.~

Did you know that the female platypus is poisonus? No joke!

Anyway, in the war of platypus vs. squirrle, the squirrle wins hands down...

(Just my randomness)

ARGH! PLATYPUS!

*runs around in circles giggling*

Why the platypus? Not why the platypus anything, Just, WHY THE PLATYPUS?

I think someone was pulling a practical joke when the platypus came to be. Either that, or they had bits left over. :wink:

Have fun with things, that's cool, I don't really care, i mean i'm replying to something that was posted ages ago, and that's fine with me, I mean what's wrong with that, can you see anything wrong with that? I don't think there's anything wrong with that...

i'm just joking, that's really cool, i wouldn't mind a platypus for a pet.

Well, it's certainly... erm... interesting...

I'm assuming it's meant to be completely nonsensical, and thus, you shall get a completely nonsensical critique. Or, rather, you would if I could manage one. I think I'd rather lick the belly of a cockroach, to be honest...

Glad you had fun with this. Now, go write some REAL stuff. ;)



I don't have much knowledge about marsupials.
