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
