We have procured real Emeu.
Some time ago he had cough
That's why his feathers all came off.
But now I'm very glad to state
That he is really gaining weight.
4 privilege and pleasure It's
To see him as he really is.
He's cast aside his clothes and cares,
And everything an Emeu wears,
And now he's happy as the day
And full Of frolic. fun and play.
I rather like the real Emeu,
Without his clothes and cares. Do you
