An Ode to the Ostrich

(Verse 1)
Well, gather ’round, folks, and lend an ear,
I’ll tell you a tale that’s mighty queer,
‘Bout a bird that’s big, strong, and tall,
They call it the ostrich, the king of ’em all.

(Chorus)
Oh, ostriches roam in the hi-desert land,
Where Joshua trees sway, it’s a sight so grand,
With feathers so fine and legs so long,
They’re mighty creatures, mighty and strong.

(Verse 2)
Now, you might think they’re just a funny sight,
With their necks stretched out, reachin’ for the light,
But don’t you be fooled by their peculiar way,
They can run like the wind and keep foes at bay.

(Chorus)
Oh, ostriches roam in the hi-desert land,
Where Joshua trees sway, it’s a sight so grand,
With feathers so fine and legs so long,
They’re mighty creatures, mighty and strong.

(Verse 3)
Did you know an ostrich can kick so hard,
It can take down a lion, the king of the yard?
With a strike so swift, it’ll send ’em a-flying,
These birds mean business, there’s no denying.

(Chorus)
Oh, ostriches roam in the hi-desert land,
Where Joshua trees sway, it’s a sight so grand,
With feathers so fine and legs so long,
They’re mighty creatures, mighty and strong.

(Bridge)
From Africa they hail, where the heat is strong,
Adapted to the desert, where they belong,
They can go without water for days on end,
Surviving the harshness, they won’t break or bend.

(Verse 4)
So, if you’re ever wanderin’ the desert so wide,
Keep an eye out for an ostrich, don’t let ’em hide,
They’re a marvel to behold, a true wonder to see,
Living in harmony with the Joshua tree.

(Chorus)
Oh, ostriches roam in the hi-desert land,
Where Joshua trees sway, it’s a sight so grand,
With feathers so fine and legs so long,
They’re mighty creatures, mighty and strong.

(Outro)
So, raise a glass to these incredible birds,
With their facts and stats that leave us stirred,
Ostriches, the kings of the desert’s domain,
Singin’ their praises in this old-timey refrain.
