The FARMER and the STORK

FARMER caught all the thieves in the nets
Five resigned CRANES and one shameful STORK
With a broke-up foot and scuffed up feathers
Who pleaded: Oh masterful FARMER, do let me go
I am here by accident, I am not your foe
Look at them, look at me
This is not where I should be
Well the farmer heartily laughed
Have you not heard of birds of a feather?
All you thieves will be punished together.

FARMER caught all the thieves in the nets

Five resigned CRANES and one shameful STORK

With a broke-up foot and scuffed up feathers

Who pleaded: Oh masterful FARMER, do let me go

I am here by accident, I am not your foe

Look at them, look at me

This is not where I should be

Well the farmer heartily laughed

Have you not heard of birds of a feather?

All you thieves will be punished together.
