"PARADISE BIRD, in her new clothes,
Said: "They're expensive, goodness knows!
I 'spouse, because they were so dear, 
I'll have to wear them all year."
(Red Paradise Bird)"

"SIR ROOK is English, don't you know?
Says: "Do not confound me with a Crow."
His family tree is large and old,
Which makes his manner proud and cold."
