“I'm the no-no bird,/ That's right, that's me./ I live up in/ The Tantrum Tree./ I'm the no-no bird,/ I won't say why/ I stamp my feet/ And shout and cry.”

Hurray for childrens' poetry. Boo hiss for moral lessons disguised as childrens' poetry (tantrum tree sounds and no no sounds like it might be wanting to TEACH ME A LESSON.)
