Feather of a duchess's hat
converted to a quill at that
a subject of alternative meats
good distance from its pesky beak...

Two legged chase on exotic plain
an ostrich feather in my domain
taller than cousins emu or rhea
into the sand its head can stay

In the sand to avoids ugly sights
henchmen trials of regime delights
with the hole removed head should see
beyond the local thrift shop spree....


tall feathers are pulled no more
ostrich plumage fills no fine store
in the sand it'll stick its head
far away from royal pageant steads.

Smiling at you - poor little ostrich - doing the best he can, even if it means a head in the sand

Yes, would that we could be an ostrich, but we can't, not responsibly, hmmmm?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

no not reponsibly..the same goes for the parent that sits idly by in communities where kids are allowed to roam the streets for as long as they feel...topic of the next poem.
