I am A Ostrich
Mary McGough
I can't fly,
I don't know why.
A gnat told me
It's because I'm fat.
My long pink legs are so ugly
But my back is very snuggly.
I like to skip in the grass
I have gas.
Yesterday, a cow called me turkey,
I called him beef jerky
Everyone is disturbed
By my size
What can I say?
I'm ostracized.
