I would just like to say
that it is my conviction
That longer hair and other flamboyant
Affectations of appearance are nothing more
Than the male's emergence
From his drab camouflage
Into the gaudy plumage
That is the birthright of his sex
There is a peculiar notion that
Elegant plumage and fine feathers are not proper for the man
But actually, that is the way things are in most species.
