And saw at church:

Oh, a great yellow bird

Upon a perch—

Quite still upon a perch.

And then a man in white

Got up and walked to it,

And talked to it

For a long while (he said);

But the yellow bird

(Although it must have heard!)

Never turned its head,

Or did anything at all

But look straight at the wall!

(A true tale.)
