Bob Blackwell - Pride

A secretary bird has
Pale grey feathered top,
three quarter dark black pants,
below long pink slender legs,
wings make bustled skirt, within
a grey black bordered tail,
Its tasseled head has orange face,
grey blue bill, and hazel eyes.
He gives a pompous grin, head
turned up, he parades, he struts,
a slow flamboyant stride, that says
I am the most superior bird.
