The infinite eternal stork bearing gifts (the unconventional sonnet)

Where do stork babies come from,
If not from the storks?
Should it be from hippos
Rhinoceroses? Maybe piglets that
Bring muddied cloths with tiny birds.
Mayhap from the chinks or the chirps
But could it be the storks themselves
Keep such curiosities to secrets only
Hidden in their backwards knees. Or
Maybe we look at it all wrong, Maybe
You order them on the internet, like dolls
Or tools. but perhaps the mystery should
Remain silent and reverent. Or Storks are
Immortal and therefore don't reproduce.
