Platypus Poem by Ima Ryma

A platypus, I am a sight
Made of this and that to behold.
Some say that I do look a fright,
With so much weird into me rolled.
I have a duck like bill that will
Electrify, so to detect.
A beaver like tail used with skill
To navigate, all furry decked.
I have webbed feet for water stalk.
I can elect water or land.
And on the land I knuckle walk.
Humans wonder - was this all planned?

When Mother Nature made me be,
A lot of spare parts became me.
