Endangered
By Levi R
The platypus powers through the water like a swan,
A thick bill snaps up fish and mashes it into a thick and gooey paste,
It swims back to the den, waiting are the puggles,
The mother swallows the fish and lays so her babies can feed,
The puggles look like little pillows, so cute and fluffy like a duck's behind,
Life so young and tender colours the world with bright yellow, pink and green,
One day these young ones will grow
Into something that is independent
But one day
There may be no more left
As habitat is taken
Predators prowl
The water is gone
The den is destroyed
Predators have moved on
Leaving only husks behind
This may be the fate of all
As blundering humans ruin all
Save them
Save the platypuses
