The Blue Mountain Lory; The Blue Morning Glory

The Insects, to avoid surprise

By Birds, sometimes themselves disguise

As leaves and twigs, and thus escape

The appetizing Insect’s fate.

Observe how cleverly this Vine

Has forced its leaves and flowers to twine

Themselves into a Bird design.

And how its artful turns and twists,

Hide it from zealous Botanists.
