Yellow-footed, check-crested, hot-headed Twits,
They are small, they are mean, and they love to throw fits.
If a Twit hears a thought that they think is no good,
They'll furrow their brow and throw back their hood.
To the world, they'll make clear that because of your thoughts,
You shouldn't speak, and you shouldn't think. Oh no, you should not!
