Poem response #2


"The Platypus"
By Oliver Herfurd

This poem is very humorous and that's one of the reasons why I like it.  I'm not entirely sure what this poem

 is about but I'm guessing it is a child's poem.  I think that his writing style is sort of like doctor sues just by the

 way he words things, like when he says, "A name that baffles, frights and shocks us,"  just because of it's 

flow and it's way of describing things.  The rhyme scheme in this poem is  AABBCCEEFFGG.  This poem 

also includes alliteration, for example when it says, "Fish, Flesh or Fowl, and chose all three."
