You may think it's funny, but I was the last one to see them alive
There were only seven of them in the world and the zoo had four of them and I used to go there every night.
Just to watch them
Standing so still in the water
and they moved so graceful in slow motion
Their legs are as skinny as my little finger, long legs, and
There were only some of them the world because the rest had been killed for feathers for ladies hats or something.
And one night,
The gang of boys came by with the radios to their ears and cursing real bad, you know f'n everything,
and I was, you know, scared.
and they started saying things to me, you know dirty things, and and Laughing at The Birds and one kid he
He threw a stone to see how clothes could Splash The Bird and the Birds Leg
Bended Like straw and and soon all The Kids were throwing stones at The birds and i kept screaming Stop It stop it
and The Birds Leg
Bended Like Strong There were White Feathers flapping on the water and the Kids Kept Laughing and During Stones and i kept screaming stop it
But They couldn't Hear me not that ugly
Music on their radios so so i ran i got the zoo Garden he got his club and we Ran back to the place to
The Birds
and The Kids were gone
There were big Pools of Blood in the water and White Feathers
The Water Was still
Like The World Stopped
The Cops came and They gave me a needle to make me stop screaming in and the zoo guard Slapped me i mean not me
Not me but Just to make me stop screaming and
They never Caught That game
But even if They did you can't make The birds come alive again
They Killed The birds
Nobody Cares
Nobody
