Ornithorhynchus anatinus - platypus

 Sleeping geology
 On the isolated shore
 For millions of years

 Experimental continent
 On purpose or accident?

 Mysterious evolving
 Problem solving

 vaudeville? nation including one superior creation
 vertebra? Inverted...quite unheard of...

 Orphan in a family
 And a sole survivor
 He's a living fossil

 Reptillian? Mammalian
 He's a bird-beaked, beaver-butt Australian

 Amphibious? Paradox wearing plaid socks
 Furry beetle? bugbear, and a palezoologist's nightmare
 Symmetrical physique of disbelief

 The platypus has the brain of a dolphin
 and can be seen driving a forklift in his habitat of kelp
 He is the larva of the flatworm
 and has the ability to regenerate after injury

 No relation to the flounder.

 Someone shipped him to the blokes
 Who said he was a hoax
 So they cut him to pieces, wrote a thesis

 cranium of deceit, he's prone to lie and cheat;
 It's no wonder -- a blunder from down under

 Duckbill, watermole, duckmole!

 Barnacle
