Hair is for losers I said mighty loud.
I said it big and I said it proud!
My husband grinned
Hair on his chin
Bald as ostrich egg seen in a crowd.

Premium Member Tutu For the Rhino Please

Rotund rhinoceros, short chubby legs
Gingerly walks between old ostrich eggs
She is full of sass
As she makes a pass
Please get me a rainbow tutu, she begs.

Premium Member I Cheered You On Silently

Ostrich baby, thank God you cracked open at last
I wanted to help you, but other mothers were looking
I cheered you on silently as mothers must do when socialized

Premium Member Ostrich syndrome

We see fear in the other’s eyes,
which belies heart’s tremulous sighs,
that would, if it could, freely dance
but the spark of pure love’s romance
needs to escape ego spawned lies.

Premium Member Pardon Me Ma'Am

Pardon me Ma’am, I immediately thought to say.
But do you know there is an ostrich on your head?
Is this etiquette correct? And his face is all gray.
I hate to tell you, but this ostrich is dead.

Winter's End

soon we shall all be free
of all upholstered costumes 
and all manners of miners' boots
that infect us with winter edema
and puff us up like flu troubled ostrich
to become angels again
In our cute adidas spikes .

Ostrich eggs are 6 by 5 inches weighing 3 pounds Imagine coming out, screaming is heard all over town Equal to 2 dozen chicken eggs So the question it begs Are they waiting for death to get rid of their frowns

Life Can Be Hard

I ride my life on camel backs
sit on python skin carpets
eat from ostrich egg-shells
sleep on ribs of fallen dogs
wear wooden overall dress
tongue chained by silence
but hope persists and thrives
Oh, the neglected in Africa!

A Man From Australia

There was a man from Australia,
Who in life was an utter failure,                                                                         So he married an Aust-rich,(Ostrich),
To get rid of his glitch,
Then he became a billionaire.

Premium Member OH WATERMELON

As ostrich egg, I'm oval

Favourite to every pal

Place me well or else I'll roll

Seem like a sumo wrestler

And beat the heat in summer

Spray pepper to make spicy

Mouth watering blood red bites

Can't stop with one...lol

Premium Member STU THE OSTRICH

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was an ostrich named Stu, Whose face made the emus say "Ew!" But he'd wink and would coo, Darling, I choose you~ Till a kick proved he'd misread the queue.

Premium Member Circus Escape

We circus animals were extremely tired of the ringmaster’s sass
They gave him the wing, the spit, and their nod said the ass.
A duck, a dog, and a tiny bear on a ball ran away too.
The ostrich limped out, for he was wearing a cosmetic shoe.

O Ostrich

O ostrich my ostrich Hey Struthio camelus
                 Very frisky very spunky very fluffy Linnaeus
                 

                 O ostrich my ostrich saddles, reins, and bits
                 people race each other and your wing beats

Don'T Be Stuck!

Like an ostrich - stuck in sand?
It's a place called la-la land!

Get out of it; face the facts
Then you can truly relax!

Just reach out; others care
Beats a person's worst nightmare!

Have E-mail; use a phone
The pain's attack soon is done!

It seems there’s a certain melodious beat 
discovered reusing these metrical feet.
You can’t help but tap it
first slow, and then rapid:
an odd syncopation that brings ears a treat.

Premium Member Too Many Birds

Swans and geese are in the parlor, a toucan is in the hall.
An ostrich just ran past the kitchen, he is at least six feet tall
A flamingo strut her feathers against the conservatory wall
The peacock is eating your breakfast dear. I’m going to the mall.

Premium Member Emu

" Do I look EMUSED?" Quote by EMU bird mistaken for an ostrich.

Emu second largest.
Eggs bright emerald green.
Eyes are beady light brown.
Every emu’s flightless.
Eat pebbles to digest.
Easily fooled not smart.
Extra long legs run fast.
