I inquired of a cardinal,
What’s with the red?
Wouldn’t camouflage brown
Be safer instead?
He pondered it briefly
And breezily said:
My breed’s really not
The cowering kind.
We like to stand out,
Easy to find,
Ready to fight
If you’ve trouble in mind,
And let me just add
That the females I know
Are very selective
In choosing a beaux,
But seem rather fond
Of a feathery show.
