“The birds can fly
An’ why can’t I?”

“Darius was clearly of the opinion

that the air was also man's dominion.

And that with paddle or fin or pinion

we soon or late shall navigate

the azure, as now we sail the sea.

The thing looks simple enough to me.

And if you doubt it,

see how Darius reasoned about it.

"The birds can fly, an why can't I?

Must we give in?" says he with a grin,

"that the Blue bird and Feeby

Are smarter than we be?"

"Just fold our hands and see the Swalla,

and the Black bird and the Cat bird beat us holla?

Or tell me that chatterin' sassy little wren knows more 'en men?

Just show me that. Or prove that the bat

has got more brains than's in my hat,

an' I'll back down. An' not till then.”
― John T. Trowbridge
