GREEN wings and yellow breasts on birds that stare <br />That turn their heads and stare, <br />And a red streamer tail! <br />They come from Yucatan <br />Where priests with clownish hats, and jade <br />Nose-coverings, <br />Looked pompously from steps of pyramids. <br />Now this their Yucatan, <br />This shop where they are Brobdingnagian. <br />Macaws that stare, <br />And blow into the conchs of their beaks, <br />And climb with their club feet.<br /><br />Padraic Colum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/macaws/
