The Bad Child's Book Of Beasts/The Dodo

From Wikisource


The Dodo


The Dodo used

to walk around,




And take the sun and air.
The sun yet warms his native ground—

The Dodo is not there!



The voice which used to squawk and squeak
Is now for ever dumb—


Yet may you see his bones and beak
All in the Mu-se-um.
