[ CC ] This Poem Is Seriously Ducked Up

        
O! Not every paradelle likewise precariously penned        
O! Not every paradelle likewise precariously penned        
reads as though branched loftily by Billy Collins        
reads as though branched loftily by Billy Collins        
Not every branched paradelle by Billy Collins        
likewise reads loftily as though precariously O penned!        
       
It takes a rare bird who thinks like him; an odd duckling        
It takes a rare bird who thinks like him; an odd duckling        
such as he is with his pre'pond'rings else quirkily quacked        
such as he is with his pre'pond'rings else quirkily quacked        
A rare bird with his pre'pond'rings; it takes an odd duckling        
Who else thinks like him quacked quirkily such as he is        
       
If aviary poem's for you my dear, disallusioned Susan        
If aviary poem's for you my dear, disallusioned Susan        
then shorely you'll swoon over this platypus docking at noon!        
then shorely you'll swoon over this platypus docking at noon!        
Dear platypus, this aviary poem's docking for you!        
At noon you'll swoon shorely if disallusioned then my Susan        
       
Though reads not as likewise precariously branched          
Billy Collins penned every paradelle o loftily!        
A rare bird who thinks as quirkily takes it such as       
he is an odd duckling; his pre'pond'rings quacked like him        
Susan, Dear! You'll then swoon at this poem's shorely        
disallusioned platypus if docking you aviary noon
