You can see it on the Internet Archive or just put those lines into Google/books and you will be able to read the whole poem.
Glad you found your book, Akiva.

"Dead is the dodo, gone is the auk
Who couldn't fly but only walk."
I don't know that this was in a book but I can't find the poem on its own anywhere using search engines, so that's my next best guess. Could it be a Shel Silverstein?
