   Reminds me of the fu-bird.   
      
   Fu, and fan, might mean something, given: Taoist contexts.   
      
   Other words also may hear if not hit   
   a bull sigh at times within time when in ear-shot.   
      
   Lieh Tzu was an expert archer, for a spell.   
      
   When a bird drops something on one's shield,   
   it might be taken as a sign.   
      
   The bird is one dropping lighter.   
   And he, or she, may fly higher in return.   
      
   Returning might be a Taoist term.   
   Reversal yet another. Simply put, as pu goes.
