Description

The Ostrich always seems to try

If he can peck you in the eye

.And if he can't succeed in that,

He gives a kick and knocks you flat.

And when he's rolled you in the mud,

He eats your flesh and laps your blood.

About this bird there's one good thing,-

He never hits you with his wing.

And he is very easily pleased

When once his appetite's appeased.
