Too whimbrel for avocets

Just flown in on the easterlies

he was blearily

too whimbrel for avocets

Marsupial in all her ovaries

she was clearly

too timbral for marmosets

So they fought the times together

Battling the prevailing weather

finding that their fur and feather

with wing and paws for dry and wet

Showed them really rather well met.

He flew across his southern seas

She nurtured pouch and gum-nut knees

They were neither that nor this

And therefore neither hers nor his

Not quite marmot nor ever marmoset

Definitely more whimbrel than any avocet.
