Never Birds (Spam Poem 2)
He beached his barque in a place
where the bird would easily find it;
but the hat was such a great success
that she abandoned the nest.
It drifted about till it went to pieces,
and often Starkey came
to the shore of the lagoon,
and with many bitter feelings
watched the bird sitting on his hat.
As we shall not see her again,
it may be worth mentioning here
that all Never birds
now build in that shape of nest,
with a broad brim on which
the youngsters take an airing.
"It was exactly as if someone were pulling my hair"
