Fall madly in love
And stays with his mate all his life?
While, for instance, a duck
Exclaims “No such luck!"
And selects every year a new wife?
And what's with the goose
Who prefers to choose
A flight where it's snowy and freezy?
Why not stay at home
Where it's cozy and warm,
And where bringing up children is easy?
And what about penguins
Who constantly spring in
The sea, leaving their only child
To peep and to cry,
Wondering why
He was left all alone in the wild?
Some birds like to flock
And some, lone like a rock,
Spend months sailing oceans for miles.
What makes every kind
To follow its mind
And pursue its very own style?
The robins, the jays
Have their own ways
And each one has its predilections.
But it is all the same,
And the name of the game
Is always Darwinian selections...
