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. . |
