The Stork’s an absolutely cool girl…
None is svelter
In the Delta –
She’ll shriek, she’ll jog, she’ll comb the bog
In search of the odd fish and frog.
She walks around
Touching the ground
With one foot at a time, therefore
Her feet are never ever sore.
She diligently builds her nest
In yonder willow where she’ll rest.
When she has hatched her gold-downed brood,
She feeds them all
Till they grow tall –
No other bird’s chicks look so good.
Her legs are sleek, she’s got a beak
Hard as nails and pretty long.
The Stork’s an absolutely cool girl –
She’s not unlike a little school girl
Briskly hop scotching along.
