"Kiwiana"

tena koutou katoa
there once was bloke from Aotearoa
who had an iron gut like a flightless moa
mutton birds his nightly meal
gorging with his river smoked eel

I'd hate to meet the feller you wrote about, he sounds like someone you wouldn't want to tangle with in a dark alley. laugh

never stopping to peel or feather

So when he woke in the morn
to the toilet he'd adjourn
and adorn the bowl with skin and feathers
