BUTTERFLY CINQUAIN

two birds
in a relaxed pose
irish and african
slammed in polite society
not on
nudity unacceptable
a recognised taboo
irish model
brave chick


 
African Grey Parrot
not a bird brain
outperforms
children and harvard students
in a test
a match for our aussie parrots
maybe




Joanna Hiffernan. Irish model. 1843-1886



 

 
feeling un peu francais
i'm putting this on for fun
