Escape By Ostrich, children of scorn,
Grew lean while they assailed the seasons;
They wept that they were ever born,
And they had reasons.

Ostrich scorned the gold they sought,
But sore annoyed were they without it;
Ostrich thought, and thought, and thought,
And thought about it.

Escape by Ostrich, born too late,
Scratched their heads and kept on thinking;
Ostrich coughed, and called it fate,
And kept on drinking.
