Wood Stork

A wood stork often stands alone,

With his feathers white and head like stone.

He cares not that his neck his stout.

The wood stork knows what he's about.

Remarks of his aesthetic unheard

For he is unlike another bird.

He rules the flocks among the shore,

A king above all birds and more.

So if, at times, you feel apart,

Perhaps you have a wood stork's heart.
