In every generation, there
Is one platypus of each type
That guards the
Nests against thieves, the eggs of these nest
Guardians are well hidden by
The mother
Earth Platypus, born from the soil
Hatched in winterfrozen ground
First, you need to dig, then you must boil
And finally set this guy down
Quite acrobatic, they hide very high
To hatch while they are falling free
Use your sling on flying Platypi
And bait them with some fine pastries
Born in blazing, noxious heat
Fire Platypi will breed
In seething geysers, you will need
Barbecue tongs to succeed
Hidden near the sparkling shore
A Zebrafish you have to score
To hatch Water Platypi
But the zebrafish must die
Your legs are short, your nose is flat
I must admit, I fancy that
Oh Platypus, you are the best
Upon your breast, I'll gladly rest
I like your pretty face so well
And your sweet platypussy smell
You're cuter than a batty wuss
You look just like a platypus
Into your eye I'm fondly gazing
You're not a platypus. amazing!
