Wompoo (Fruit Dove)

While I know why they’re named wompoo fruit 

doves after their beautiful call, I’m still amazed 

at no innovative deconstruction in the ways its 

pronounced; should it have been ‘warm pooh’, 

who knows, th’ dove doesn’t seem to care too 

much. As long as there is fruit on the Moreton 

Bay figs, it voices its magnanimity of delight in 

such gentleness the debate’s never arisen, so 

There are no surprises in store for my view of 

nomenclature’s disambiguation - and true too, 

the privileged station of the bird’s beauty - yet 

classification's made it:  Ptilinopus magnificus 

of Phylum: Chordata - & Higher classification: 

Fruit dove, Order: Columbiformes - wompoo
