Formal Attire

This is not coming from me

And please do not spread rumours.

But when he’s lone and thinks

I’ve lost his whereabouts,

He wears a top hat on his head,

A monocle on his eye,

A bowtie and a tailcoat

– a penguin-in-the-closet?

And look! His gloved hand 

Briefly holds a wand!

Then he recalls that parrots

Are sort of fingerless –

He’s not a pterodactyl.

Behold the wand a-falling.
