The Story of an Ostrich: An Allegory and Humorous Satire in Rhyme.

A rhymed allegory casts a comical ostrich that repeatedly pecks and injures its own feet after failing to recognize them as part of itself, using this absurd behavior to satirize pride, misplaced self-regard, and the neglect of foundational supports. Short prefatory and artist's notes and accompanying hand-printed illustrations widen the scope into social and spiritual reflection, suggesting that harmony and collective well‑being require attunement to a central guiding principle rather than isolated individualism.
