Produktbeschreibung

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

He's a birder, and geneticist.

His name is pronounced "Avis",

With a silent "e",

So that you can see:

He's an odd bird, slightly amiss!

Poetry is his hobby,

In office or a lobby;

It keeps him sane,

And not too vain

Or snobby.

ABOUT THE BOOK

It's a textbook like no other,

So why did Avise bother?

To achieve lasting fame,

And enhance his name

As a great literary author!

Natural history and biology

Fully covered from A to Z.

Humorous, delightful,

And wisely insightful,

Sheer poetry!

ABOUT LIMERICKS

Such poems he hopes to transform...

To a sublime and lofty art-form:

Clean, wise, funny,

Delightfully punny,

And meant to biologically inform.
