A weird bird enters the registration office.
Good afternoon, how can I be of your service?
I want to get a passport, I'll need it when I go on hollidays.
Well sir, that can be arranged may I have your name please?
Hmm . . . . well, I'm most commonly known as Dodo.
You say most commonly, do you perhaps have a nickname?
I am also known as
Dod-aarsen
or
Dodaersen
however some prefer
Dod-eersen.
You can also call me
Dodars
or even
Dodoor.
I just like the
Didu
or the cute
Dudu
and
Dido
the name the ladies give me when I perform the
Didine group.
I am sorry can you hold on a moment ?
He shuffles some papers until a blank form is on top. Dipping his feather in ink he says:
Continue please.
Some of my friends call me
Dronten
others
Totersten.
They called me
Kermisgans
when I was touring the hotels.
The catering has some interesting alternatives such as
Walckvogel
more grains
Walckvögel
some only rice
Nazarvogel.
After a while some waiters are more in the mood for
Ekelvogel
or
Ekelvögel
as for
Wallichvogels
or even
Wallich-vogels.
But even the average public name me
Walgvogel
with rice
Walghvögel.
Some believe I am
Oiseaux de Nazaret
while in the east they say
Oiseau de nausée.
How about an official name ?
Well, I have been to university, I did several studies
Didus ineptus when was studying flight. I used the name
Mirenberg Cygnus cucullatus for the year working with my love. At my best I was known as
Gallus gallinaceus peregrinus Clusii whileI was
Didus nazarenus for fellow students. I finally got my degree as
Raphus cucullatus.
Your passport will be ready in some five to ten years. Goodbye.
