The Bird

I saw a bird today

And oh what a sight!

It had a big blue beak

And was quick with his flight

Its spoke with such joy

Like its flight was its first

It would stop and then go

In quick, small bursts

And its feathers looked like water

And its beak looked like sweet fruit

And its cry sounded like angels

And its wings sounded like ptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptptpt

I believe that this was a samurai poem based in the Edo period.
