It is an epic poem describing the birds but in fact they resemble human.

 

SYMPATHETIC ADVICE

 

24-kangaroo was cool and very calm

Very judicious and wise enough

Stay here for the night, he put the balm

 

25-Special food is a prerequisite

To learn the art of landing strides

Without which no one can exquisite

 

26-Ostrich ate the meal with relish

Offered by the kangaroo as his pupil

And admonish to be not lavish

 

DUCKS AND DRAKES

 

 

27-Vultures fell on the throne of the king

Did not spare a meager entity

Occupied the castles and the everything

 

28-The sparrows, larks and the swans

The humming bird and nightingales

Pigeons and ducks doves and fawns

 

29-vulture arrayed the strange squads

The seagulls were the magistrates

And bats were the day guards

 

30-The opossum was the appointed judge

The black bird was made attorney

All were ordered not to budge

 

 

31-The king drank from the kangaroo’s hands

Strange passions ran into veins

His wings rose and feather’s bands

 

32-Whole his body shook severely

Fell the feathers except a few

And few wings remained barely

 

33- With the dawn the ostrich awoke

Their was no little feather on his body

He had lost his royal cloak

 

34-kangaroo came and told about

The kick backs and strange strides

Half flew he and half rubout

 

35- The king learned a thing very odd

Happy over his masterly gains

But lo and behold! What did he nod?

 

PLUNDERED STATE

 

36- Vultures plundered the throne royal

Scavengers gnawed the flesh alive

The fowls were at mum on the fate’s recoil

 

37- If some spoke against the dictators harsh

Lives of theirs were in danger

The punishment was to bury them in marsh

 

38- Rich became and proud the stooges toadies

The sycophants and the blackmailers

The real thieves and the hardies

 

39- Doves were imprisoned and the larks

Lurking over the love was the swords

Of fierce vultures and ambitious darks

 

40- Principles of love respect and harmony

All buried in the abyss of lust

Rulers the usurpers and the rules money

 

DICTATES OF DICTATORS

 

 

41-all the happiness pomp and gaiety

Vanished away and all were to think

To run for life and have flight mighty

 

42- Worries closed in and king thought

How would he reach out and restore

This misfortune his follies brought

 

43- The home land far away and the risky ways

The flights undone and the wings lost

Lost glory does not come back by prays

 

44- No fairy would come and no gnome

He was to run and only run

To set the things right at home

 

 

45- Vultures spoiled everything of the state

Laws and lawyers cops and corpses

Each and everybody they did vitiate

 

46- The sick aviary was to explode and blast

With the clumsy handling and the rough attitude

If the vultures as king were to last

 

47- A new thing vultures and their ranks

Ensued after coup, they introduced

Transferred national assets to foreign banks

 

48- Looted and plundered they every one

Conspired against the native whole

Thought if booked they would run

 

49-The coffers became their personal wealth

The nation starved and looked for

To get some aid for falling health

 

50- They were vultures and dead they ate

Scavengers they were and that’s why

For living being was only hate

RETURN OF THE NATIVE

 

51- The ostrich laggard and hopped

At the borders of his beloved state

He was told that he was dropped

 

52- On the borders he was stopped

And was not allowed to enter

His lands was for him blocked

 

53- Gloomy he became and with severe grief

Astonished bewildered and strangled

Unexpected happened in that brief

 

54- Furious he became and told guards

I am the king and rule this land

Tell this to your fictitious lord

 

55- Arrested he was on this talk

The guards escorted him to the court

Some in front and some behind walk

 

56- He was dethroned, and did he know

On reaching court he was told

It was useless to make a row

 

 

DISAPPONTMENT

57-He pleaded the courts and judge

    An owl appointed against the post

   He was adamant and then nudge

 

58- Just one was made to retire

A toady was assigned the post

Whose services dictators hire

 

59- Ostrich was gloomy and disappointed

Not for throne but for fowls

Their lives were being exploited

 

60- Wept he from heart due to compassion

For the poor birds and other beings

Sorrowful he became for his nation

 

61- Pondered over the plight and the state

Destroyed by, by the bad birds

Determined to get back, early or late

 

LUCK ENCOUNTERS

 

62- He then approached the eagle saint

Sick of vultures rule living away

Tired and hungry he was to faint

 

63- Eagle’s hospitality made him revive

His holy plans and his life

He felt himself in the heavenly hives

 

64- Eagles stopped him when he spoke

Need not explain, knew everything

No one can in vultures, sympathy evoke

 

65- Eagle took him to the royal court

The armies of wild bees in the way

Voluntarily along with him cohort

 

CATCHES AT A STRAW

66- The greedy vultures did not easily resign

The price of life, and amnesty asked by

And some carcasses daily and no fine

66- Eagle’s arbitrations for his nation

Made ostrich to regain his throne

Serve with the same old passion

 

Conclusion

In this way the tale ends

The poet for all honesty recommends

 

More it does symbolize the man

Fall In the abyss that easily can

 

Ostrich daring, dignified and just

Request every body, think it must

 

The vultures are self explanatory

Smelling death in the earth’s cemetery
