Dodo Bird

Doddling dodo, the Dutch don't know
The knot in your tail is quite apropos
A Portuguese Penguin? I don't think so
Not a pigeon but a dove from long ago
Earthbound avian, aerialless auger
Would leaving you alone have been such a bother
To walk on the earth with your wiggle and saunter
Man isn't content without reaching yonder
And plucking up this and squandering that
And calling a nuisance what he's pestered, in fact
But the murder of dodo has made us react
We're now a tad slower to commence the attack

Laughing Owl

Just before it starts to rain

Laughing owl laughs again
On dark and lonely drizzly night
The laughing owl may take flight
His sound is like a barking dog
But on the rocks and in the fog
He loves to hear accordion's sound
But often thinks it's love he's found

One day man came and without a thought
Shot laughing owl on the spot
A pretty bird, so calm and gentle
He'd look handsome on my mantle!
When the clouds burst out in tears
The laughing owl had disappeared
Laughing owl, Kiwi bird
You no longer utter a single word
