Wiley needs to work a bit more on the rhyme scheme. A, A, B, B, C, D, E, sorta D? Not to mention the number of syllables in the last few lines is all over the place.
Female humans “squeeze out” the completed being not an egg and then make its nourishment organically for six or so months. Oviviviparous vs oviparous vs viparous
An elderly couple were walking in the park. A pigeon did its business in Eleanor’s hair. She stood stock still and kind of freaked. George! Quick! Run and get some toilet paper from the shelter! George looked at her like she’d grown a spare set of ears. Whatever for dear? → That bird will be long gone by the time I get back!

Maybe birds can warble and chirp, but it’s the humans that are experts at twittering and tweets.

There’s true rhyme and there’s bent rhyme. This one started out well, then took a right angle.

In the case of Canadian Geese, they don’t bother to leave town after doing ‘their business’.

Haven’t heard much of Wiley’s wonderful wisdom of late. A good one to add to the collection of profound poetry.

Obviously, some humans are not experts at poetry.

Chickens do a “Thank God that’s over till tomorrow” scream (cluck?) after squeezing out an egg..

Not a poetic ending, needs work. I give it a C-.

As to the last two panels, Wiley obviously does not live near a seagull habitat.

Wiley’s supposed to give a fourth-wall leer on the punchline.

Add the words “your eye” to keep the meter and rhyme.
