Poem Artwork

The poor ostritch was ostracized
his head was in the air, you see!
In the air and the clouds
and god knows where.

Other ostritches got married
had eggs and children, children and eggs
but he had no one to call duck
or darling, or dear.

A rumour spread -
he must be queer!
Head in the clouds, head in the air
and god knows where.

The other ostritches stopped
seeing him; they neither saw him
or heard him. Where is he?
God knows where!

I always enjoy your wit and humour, Kenny. This poem is no exception although, I can think of the poor ostrich as a human also. Love and peace,

Regis
