Such a bustle and squeak | B |
Nestlings guiltless of a feather | C |
Learning just to speak | B |
Ask And how about the fashions | D |
From a cavernous beak | B |
- | |
Perched on bushes perched on hedges | E |
Perched on firm hahas | E |
Perched on anything that holds them | F |
Gay papas and grave mammas | E |
Teach the knowledge thirsty nestlings | E |
Hear the gay papas | E |

Robin says A scarlet waistcoat | G |
Will be all the wear | H |
Snug and also cheerful looking | I |
For the frostiest air | H |
Comfortable for the chest too | G |
When one comes to plume and pair | H |
- | |
Neat gray hoods will be in vogue | J |
Quoth a Jackdaw Glossy gray | K |
Setting close yet setting easy | E |
Nothing fly away | K |
Suited to our misty mornings | E |
A la neglig e | E |
- | |
Flushing salmon flushing sulphur | C |
Haughty Cockatoos | E |
Answer Hoods may do for mornings | E |
But for evenings choose | E |
High head dresses curved like crescents | E |
Such as well bred persons use | E |
- | |
Top knots yes yet more essential | L |
Still a train or tail | M |
Screamed the Peacock Gemmed and lustrous | E |
Not too stiff and not too frail | M |
Those are best which rearrange as | E |
Fans and spread or trail | M |
- | |
Spoke the Swan entrenched behind | G |
An inimitable neck | N |
After all there's nothing sweeter | C |
For the lawn or lake | O |
Than simple white if fine and flaky | E |
And absolutely free from speck | N |
- | |
Yellow hinted a Canary | E |
Warmer not less distingu | N |

Cannot look outr | E |
All the colors are in fashion | P |
And are right the Parrots say | K |

Very well But do contrast | G |
Tints harmonious | E |
Piped a Blackbird justly proud | G |
Of bill aurigerous | E |
Half the world may learn a lesson | P |
As to that from us | E |
- | |
Then a Stork took up the word | G |
Aim at height and chic | N |
Not high heels they're common somehow | Q |
Stilted legs not thick | N |
Nor yet thin he just glanced downward | G |
And snapped to his beak | N |
- | |
Here a rustling and a whirring | N |
As of fans outspread | G |
Hinted that mammas felt anxious | E |
Lest the next thing said | G |
Might prove less than quite judicious | E |
Or even underbred | G |
- | |
So a mother Auk resumed | G |
The broken thread of speech | R |
Let colors sort themselves my dears | E |
Yellow or red or peach | R |
The main points as it seems to me | E |
We mothers have to teach | R |
- | |
Are form and texture elegance | E |
An air reserved sublime | S |
The mode of wearing what we wear | E |
With due regard to month and clime | S |
But now let's all compose ourselves | E |
It's almost breakfast time | S |
- | |
A hubbub a squeak a bustle | L |
Who cares to chatter or sing | N |
With delightful breakfast coming | N |
Yet they whisper under the wing | N |
So we may wear whatever we like | N |
Anything everything | N |
