It Happens

There was no cloud in the whole sky; It was a lovely blue. I was just walking leisurely While coming from the zoo. I had just seen the elephants, Lions and monkeys, too, And many other wondrous things That one sees in a zoo. Then suddenly my head was wet, Which came as a surprise, For since there were no clouds above, what hit me from the skies? A tiny bird was flying o'er; It must have been him, then, Who left a turd to smear my scalp; He'll not do that again! For from now on I'll wear a hat; I'll not leave my head bare. No more will flying excrement Be landing in my hair! Now every time I take a glance Toward that lovely sky I am so grateful, yes, I am, That elephants don't fly!
