Panorama
The old man spoke with clearly grand drama,
“One rooster, four starlings—not a comma,
Two strange owls’ brigade,
One finch in cascade,
Built a nest in my beard—it’s a panorama!”
The original by Edward Lear:
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared! --
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.
