“My tail is prettier”
“My comb is larger”
“My dance is sensational”
“My strut is a charger”
“I can dance in any weather”
“I never lose a feather”
“My calls are exotic”
“The ladies find me hypnotic”
“That’s a laugh and you know it”
“I guess it’s time to show it.”
“Stop it, you two,” howled the black cloud
“The disgrace of this fight has been carried far out
“You handsome creatures with plumes of blue and green
“Shamefully bellow while you stand there and preen
“All this to woo that tail-less shrew
“Of brown and mud who cannot coo
“I would weep to show my anguish at this fight
“But that would please you and make your night
“Fight on, you vain duo, I am through
“I will take my blackness, leave the skies blue
“And head off to find a sensible site
“Where the object of affection is worth the fight.”
