VARIED THRUSH 
“We got so disgusted 
When we commenced to get wise, 
We lost all interest 
In who got the prize. 
“Then that big Ostrich 
Was only loafing around, 
He thinks because he’s big, 
He can run the whole town. 
“With all my experience, 
Of standing in line 
When I go to a race again 
It’ll be a long time. 
“I talked to the Police Bird 
And tried to make peace, 
He just ruffled up his feathers 
And said ‘I’m the Police.’ ”
