The bird
Had a snake like beak
With a twirl to its hair
And it sang songs
Of yesteryear
As it preened
Puffed
And pickled itself
In a jar
With unicorns
And cornflakes
It pickled itself
With careful grace
Using marshmallow icing
To hold the seal in place
It pickled itself
So as not to be disturbed
It's hard to find quiet
In this busy tisy world
So it pickled itself
To get some peace
While it ate
The cornflakes
It lives there still
As the seal is solid
And can't be undone
Although many a strong arm has tried
Being trapped is half the fun
And it hasn't yet run out
Of corn flakes
But that's just because
The unicorns don't like them.
