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
