This is one song
everyone would like to learn,
the song that is irresistable:

The song that forces men
to leap over board in squardrons
even though they see the beached skulls.

The song nobody knows
because anyone who has heard it
is dead, and the others cant remember.

Shall I tell you the secret
and if I do, will you get me
out of this bird suit?

I dont enjoy it here
squatting on theis island
looking pituresque and mythical

With these two feathery maniacs,
I dont even enjoy singing
this trio, fatal and valuable.

I will tell the secret to you,
to you, only you.
Come closer.

This song is a cry for help:
Help me! Only you can, only you can,
you are unique

at last. Alas
it is such a boring song
but it works every time.

--Margaret Atwood
