ROSEATE SPOONBILL 
“Am much interested in the races, 
Although I am very slow, 
They have chosen King Parrot 
For the bird to say ‘GoF 
“I talk in my own language, 
But few birds understand, 
For in my own country 
Am the pride of the land. 
“When I first heard of the race, 
Thought I would have a good run, 
But after thinking it over, 
May go just for the fun. 
“Would much like to be present, 
If I can get there on time, 
The long distance I travel 
Is no fault of mine.”
