The Sand-piper pipes all day on the sand, 

 The Corn-cracker cracks his corn on the land, 

 The Xut-hatch hatches in hollow nut trees, 

 The Bee-bird is busy all day catching bees, 

 The Oven-bird bakes; while every one knows 

 The Tailor-bird makes the other birds' clothes 

 The Cow-bird is named, I'll explain to you now, 

 Because he's forever tagging after a cow.
