Ode to a Kiwi
Thou art a magnificent master masked by a mangy monster
 Thy scrubbly shell shields a sweet, squishy center
 Thou art frustratingly firm in some furrows
 But shockingly squashed in others
 Thy brown-barbed bristles barely breathe belief
 To the tart tangy fruit that trembles internally
 Aye, indeed! I perceive thy slime-green layer quivering under that poky coat
 Mais, oui! I see the shedding, spiky feathers are but a ruse
 Thy crescent-crafted shadows give one conceptions of a cast-iron character
 Thy abrasive roughness is deceiving to the non-believers
 But I who see all, I who know all
 I condemn thee with the criminal charge of cheating!
 Thou art an infuriating, flippery fraud!
 Thy gentle, generous personality cannot be so deeply hid
 Thy sweet, sumptuous splendor is unsurprisingly subtle!
 But yet I know thee for what thou art
 Thy devious means cannot be from me diverted
 I see thee- thou cannot be concealed another moment
 Monsieur le Kiwi…je te connais
