Mugwump

A bird/bee with head-mug, on one side of fence, tail/wump on other. A mugwump sitting on a fence, smug as he can be. His mug was writting a reference, and his wump was hanging free. When mugwump would lift his head, a flight he tried to make. When he flapped his wings o'lead, his wump got stuck in the gate. Mugwump is a mighty mess, hanging from that rail. As a pilot he forgot to test, the windsock for the gusty gale. If a situation should arise, where you think he's gotton free. It wouldn't be good to surmise, that mugwumps are great big bees. If you consort with bees and birds, the words should set you free. But, if you don't watch your words, a mugwump, you will turn out to be.
