YELLOW PTARMIGAN 
“It would please all children; 
And most grown-ups, too, 
For the whole wide world 
It would circle all through. 
“The Follies foot races 
Made such a big hit 
All the birds in town 
Are talking about it yet. 
“Such performance for birds 
Has never before been seen, 
It should now be reproduced 
Upon the movie screen. 
“They all would be waiting, 
From each known place, 
For the show on the screen 
Of the ‘Birds’ Foot Race.’ ”
