Ridiculous

Ridiculous

 

It makes me frankly furious

when people say there’s none of us

We’re not extinct as you have heard.

Though no one has seen a dodo bird

 

 for a century or maybe more.

We are not stupid as before

We had to teach ourselves to hide

 lest we be roast or broiled or fried.

 

Although we’d lost the power of flight

 we did not think men had the right.

To see us as an easy meal

 and that’s the way all Dodos feel.

 

Today we hide ourselves away

 and sleep through out the light of day

We forage for our food by night

 it seems that we have got it right.

 

We’re not extinct it’s just not true.

 No matter what you have been taught

 when you were young and still at school.

A dodo is nobodies fool.
