What a queer bird

What a queer bird

What a queer bird is a poem from the nineteenth century or before, but sometimes attributed to Ogden Nash. It has also been set to music, in round form, and is sung in several Youtube videos.The words are as follows::"What a queer bird, the frog are":"When he sit he stand (almost)":"When he walk he fly (almost)":"When he talk he cry (almost)":"He ain't got no sense, hardly":"He ain't got no tail, neither, hardly":"He sit on what he ain't got hardly"

It is more likely an old folk poem or song, perhaps even sung as a round. For one older version, see a reference to it as an old poem. [ [http://www.frontierfamilies.net/family/panhandle/Fisher/GeorgeElmerFisherG5.htm George Elmer Fischer Genealogy Page] ]
