< ugly bird in a pretty world >
the lonely koel perches on the windowsill
awaiting its partner
the colourful peacock dances in athrill
for its soon-to-be lover
the playful budgie chirps for its human caretaker
a pet loved and wanted
the puffin parents build a burrow heavily guarded
so the pufflings don't live in a slum
the ugly koel stays rejected
screeching for a mate never to come
