Here on the island of Mauritius > Are many fruits, all quite delicious, > And every fruit, it's plain to see, > Was made specifically for me. > God set things up with loving care: > The earth, the sun, the sea, the air. > One-celled first, then binary fission ... > Just the beginnings of his mission, > Because the whole point of creation, > Evolution's culmination, > Preordained right from the start, > The darling of the good Lord's heart, > Was me, King Dodo. There can be > No finer form of life than me. > The evidence, of course, is clear: > The simple fact that I am here. > But if you think you should downgrade me, > Ask yourself just why God made me.-Great observation in this great poem. I don't think it is a sonnet. Those who catagorize all of creation decide who is top dog. Genesis says we have dominion over all. Can't argue with Genesis or should we?
