Bird of the Badlands is a nonsense poem, a dodecastich written in three quatrains of pentasyllabic meter, simple four line rhyme, and 51 words.

Bird of the Badlands Who is a Russell? And what can he be? A Crow, a Grackle, or Brewer's like me. Is he a Raven, a Warbler, or Dat? All the same color, but don't wear a hat. I'm a Mocking Bird, however take care. The things that I say, can fly through the air. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison
