Story 111


                             A Bird Unique


                                               On a hilly peak


                                               Along the Chesapeake,



                                               Lives a bird unique.


                                               Like a parrot, he can speak,



                                               But his call is a shriek,


                                               That breaks into a squeak.


                                               He possesses a huge beak,



                                               Plumage white with an orange streak.


                                               And he has a bulbous physique.



                                               What is more, he’s so weak,


                                              That flying makes his bones creak.
