the trouble with kiwi

[constantine]

the trouble with you, kiwi
is that you just don't understand
you waste your time, poking
your beak where it isn't wanted
scrambling for a vole or cockroach
and dining on the cheap
why don't you shake the dust
off your pin-feathers, and
turn over a new leaf, who knows
might be something tasty under there

emu, you bandy-legged bastard
what makes you so high and mighty
you're nothing but a shit
from a three foot drop, with
a pin-cushion body and a neck
as long as your legs, a feathered
giraffe with the brain of a bird
go tie yourself in a knot and squawk
like the silly emu that you are

kiwi, i don't think i like you very much
emu, the feeling is more than mutual
