ABC Wednesday
O is for Ostrich
The Ostrich by Ogden Nash
The ostrich roams the great Sahara.
Its mouth is wide, its neck is narra.
It has such long and lofty legs,
I'm glad it sits to lay its eggs.
Photos courtesy of the Internet, - could not find anyone to acknowledge.
ABC Wednesday which is so kindly hosted by Denise Nesbitt has oodles of O's for you, so hop on over by clicking here.

Wonderful closeup of the ostrich. It would have scared me to see this in my viewfinder!
What a sweetheart and the attached "O"gden is delightful!
That ostrich looks to be a bit cross-eyed! Nice photo though.
Ostriches have such funny faces! I love this photo! It's great!
What a great shot! Enjoyed the poem also...super O..
Very cool Ostrich...

Fabulous shots! Where were they taken?
How adorable. I just smiled a lot looking at it.
Loved the Nash prose too.
Aren't ostriches strange, comical creatures? There's an ostrich farm near our house and it causes quite a shock when strangers see them for the first time. They're not a common sight in English fields!!
Yes Ogden Nash had it right. That first photograph seems to say 'you lookin' at me'
That first picture was a gem! Those eyes were impressive.
Great ostrich shot.
I'm reminded of a Steppenwolf song called The Ostrich.
what an adorable face!
They are so funny! Amazing birds that always make me laugh. Ogden's always good, too!
Sometimes the internet is just there to be mined - or to illustrate an Ogden Nash poem. Great combination and an original take on the letter O.
I like your ostrich.
Hahahaha! I LOVE that first picture! So funny! And the poem is great, too!
Nice one. :D
That close-up of the ostrich is priceless! She must have been very curious about your camera:) I've always loved Ogden Nash, too--a great post!
What a little sweetie in the photograph Hildred - I am sure his mother loves him.
What a face! That close-up of the ostrich brought a smile to my face today.
