Poem: A Call for Revision - QueenFisher?

Jean Monce Bryant was inspired by Christine Southwick's comment in her recent bird article, "World-wide there are 115 birds with “king” in their names; zero birds have “queen” in their names"

A CALL  FOR REVISION

With so many birds

With KING in their name

Well what about QUEENS

It’s really a shame

The Guys get the GLORY

The COLORS as well

Like Golden and Ruby

You may think that’s swell

But what about HER

As she sits on the nest

A stay-at-home mom

Who’s doing her best

To promote the species

Without any acclaim 

I vote for a QUEEN BIRD

She’s due for some Fame

Remember that ROSA

She sure did her best

Her courage and honor

We all do attest

No move to the back

Of that now-famous bus

She gave us a message

It’s all up to us

And Martin I know

Would loudly acclaim

That Females as well

Are worthy of FAME
