​
The Auk. The Orchid.

We seldom meet, when out to walk,
Either the Orchid or the Auk.
The awk-ward Auk is only known
To dwellers in the Auk-tic zone,
While Orchids can be found in legions,
Within the equatorial regions.
So if by chance you travel on
The Lena or the Am-a-zon,
Be certain of the tem-pera-ture
Or you will make mistakes I'm sure.
