How Big Is That Emu In My Window? -- (HAMBURG, Germany) - An escaped emu caused confusion in Hamburg after a woman called police to report what she thought was a bare-chested man with two big white dots on his forehead staring into her window, police said on Friday.  The large, flightless, Australian bird resembling an ostrich has been on the run from a local zoo since Thursday. "The woman heard someone tapping at the window at night and when she looked out she saw a head with two big eyes and a bare chest," a Hamburg police spokesman said.  Officers said they knew there was an emu on the run and put two and two together after they found no one suspicious.  "We're still looking for either a naked man with huge eyes or an emu," the spokesman added. The bird has escaped twice in two weeks. Last week it ran away and frightened a horse, but was eventually captured.


An Emu Is Comin' To Town by SharonA
(Tune: "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town")

You met a large lout
With big-white-dot eye.
His chest "hairs" stick out
But he ain't no guy:
An emu is comin' to town.

Escapin' and missed,
A chicken king-size
Wants to hide out
But can't hide those eyes.
An emu is comin' to town.

He sees you when he's peeping
Through windows he might break.
His nose is tappin' glass and wood
So he could a good mess make!

So you better watch out
Your window so high.
You better not doubt
That fella is nigh:
An emu is comin' to town.

With little thick brain
And feather-filled bum
Neck that can stretch
And legs that can run
An emu is comin' to town.

With burly big men
Who come from the zoo
Chasin' him 'round
With nets and ropes, too:
An emu is comin' to town.

The birds in Perth and Queensland
Are glad that Aussie's free
They'll celebrate their bonzer mate
Who is still an escapee!

So you better watch out
Your window so high.
You better not doubt
That fella is nigh:
An emu is comin' toooo townnnnn!
