Strange Beasts

‘Tis remarkable, the fabled fish stick,
so clean designed, in shape a brick,
suggests the wings of buffalo
to fly across the plains, you know,
and nuggets of the humble chicken,
mysterious, yet good fer lickin’,
but none can soar like the bombay duck,
not eagle, beagle or greenback buck.

Prompt: "The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins." – Dave Barry.
