Derogatory Tern's
long legged huntress like secretary
some having vanished without regrets
follow that bird at least I said contrary
with regrets some like bitterns and egrets
terms corrupt also shikepoke to skid row
they flock together I would not rather
foul names come from fowls among marshy green grow
with speech like this would not miss a feather
foul names come from fowls but for night heron's that stinks
flight for now well that is for the birds
follow that bird whooping cranes hope they don’t go extinct
as for me at least I said a word
