the bird flew in china
&, on seed, it dined &,
then, that day, it pined
a- way w/ in the bay of
ben -gal, w/ gall, & seem
-ed to splay its wings &
sing a song of swans
would swim, w/ vim, &
ring a neck of woods in
hoods, on sides of roads,
w/ odes in bogs, beneath
the logs, the stools of toads,
aside the roads do seem
to be quite free of frogs
