"From My Nest

On Sesame Street.

"The Dodos

Are A Nice Family.

"They Live

In A Birdhouse

With A Big Front Lawn.

"They Spend A Lot Of Time

There Digging For Worms.

"They Never Seem

To Find Any,

But They Love To Do It."

Gee, I Don'T See

Any Worms Here.

"The Dodos

Have Lots Of Great Things

Like A Lawn Mower

You Can Ride On."

"I'M Not Sure They Know

How To Use It Right,

"But Nobody'S Perfect.

"The Dodos Like

To Stay In Shape.

Every Morning,

We Do Our Exercises."

What Kind

Of A Bird Is He?

He'S Not A Bird.

He'S A Snuffleupagus.

Snuffleguppygus.

But Your Best Friend

Should Be A Bird.

Why?

Because

You Are A Bird.

You Should Be With

Your Own Kind. Birds!

You'Ll Find Lots Of

Birds Your Own Age.

And Make Some New

Best Friends.
