The Ostrich
by Claus Andrup

The Ostrich is a funny bird
With long legs
A head and a beak
And if you say hullo to to him
You'll find he cannot speak.

The Ostrich is a funny bird
Feathers growing everwhere
He's really quite absurd
And if you said you hated him
He wouldn't say a word.

The Ostrich is a curious bird
Searching eyes
Sparkling, small and round.
Do you think that he can see
When his head is underground?
