The Dandy

He swaggers in green silk and his two coats are lined
    with fur. Above his velvet shoes his trim, bound
    ankles twinkle pleasantly.
His nails are of the longest.
Quite the glass of fashion is Mr. Chu!
In one slim hand--the ultimate punctilio--dangles
    a bamboo cage, wherein a small brown bird sits
    with a face of perpetual surprise.
Mr. Chu smiles the benevolent smile of one who satisfies
    both fashion and a tender heart.
Does not a bird need an airing?
  Wusih
