A crane standing on a single foot

Once you were a twittering butterfly

And seduced many other insects

With your beautiful wings

And sweet sayings

 

The insects knew you were a caterpillar

And a shameful lie teller and disgraceful yeller

You changed your colour and proud of your valour

You seem to be a chameleon and went into oblivion

 

You became an owl and speaks like a fowl

And didn’t change your impious soul

You were devoid of any worthy goal

And thought that every other bird was a fool

 

You have became a saintly crane

And standing on a single foot

To you life seems to be a circus feat

Every creature knows that you are a great cheat
