Swirling, through the air you are a bird of many colors. You are graceful,fast as the speed of light, your colors mesh into a hurricane of brilliance. You, and you alone are a bird of many colors. Nobody, and I mean nobody can change that, they can try with the might of a Tiger, but will appear as a slight bunny chasing after a carrot hung on a string while running on a treadmill. As you drink out of the sweet nectar provided by a florescent pink flower, you wonder what is so special about I, a small helpless species? There is many wondrous items belonging to a Humming Bird such as yourself.You are quick, clever, majestic, and most of all a beautiful bird of many colors.
