Shoebill
My bill you can't forget
My feet always wet
Hodge-podge of many likes
Walker of many sikes
My stork or cassowary-like body
My wide wings flapping steady
Legs trekking from Sudan to Zambia
My feet spanning like a tortilla
I can play hide and seek
I'm soft-spoken and meek
Chasing my prey with my bill digger
Coughing like a jack hammer
Three decades I can survive
Sounds I can create to jive
Please be careful with my heart
Yours I don't want to break apart
I only look like a shoe
Bigger than a shrew...
A bird!
