The Gannet. My second favorite bird.
“My favourite bird's the gannet:
It's the best bird on the planet.
It's better than knots
And guillemots
And beats razorbills by lots and lots.
“Yes, my favourite bird's the gannet:
It just can't be beaten, can it?
It hatches on ledges,
Where it stays till it fledges
And grows a physique
With a fabulous beak.
Then it takes to the air
And soars way up there,
Till it reaches a summit,
Whence it dives in a plummet
And down with a S W I S H !
It catches a fish.
“Yes, my favourite bird's the gannet
(Apart from my girlfriend, Janet!).”

To quote Julian Date:

I followed the Julian Dale link.
Why isn't this poet genius feted around the literary world?
