Random Poem of the Day
1They have him in a cage
2And little children run
3To offer him well-meant bits of bun,
4And very common people say, "My word!
5Ain't he a 'orrible bird!"
6And the smart, "How absurd!
7Poor, captive, draggled, downcast lord of the air!"
8Steadfast in his despair,
9He doth not rage;
10But with unconquerable eye
11And soul aflame to fly,
