The lion, fleas, and kangaroo,
Baboon, and shaving baby too,
Have all had shows—here's something new!
Terpsichore and Turveydrop
Have taught the turkeycock to hop,
To bow politely, skip and flop.
Like Cheshire cat, I would have grinned,
To see the fowl of Western Ind
Disport itself like Letty Lind!
Enough of barn-and serpent-dance!
