From the Intro-Duc-Tion By other Nature books I'm sure, You've often been misled, You've tried a wall-flower to secure. And picked a hen instead: You've wondered what the egg-plants lay, And why the chestnuts burred, And if the hop-vine hops away, It's perfectly absurd. I hence submit for your inspection. This very neiw and choice collection. Of flowers on Stork and Phlox of birds. With some explanatory words. Not everyone is always able To recognize a vegetable, For some are guided by tradition, While others use their intuition, And even I make no pretense Of having more than common sense. Indeed these strange homologies Are in most flornithologies, And I have freely draw upon The works of Gray and Audubon, Avoiding though the frequent blunders Of those who study Nature's wonders.
