Hey Little Birdie, What You Got To Say?
A tongue-in-cheek free verse poem
I think I’ve got a new-found friend
But then again, I can’t be sure
I just know he comes around
A whole lot more than before.
He used to stop and say hello
My dogs knew what he said
They would smile at him
And tilt their heads
Which he would just ignore.
He came onto the balcony
To feast on the insects, there
His chirpy chirp expressed his glee
Or maybe he was asking for more.
It’s now got to the point
Where he always seems to be there
I think he thinks it’s pretty good
Free board and insects too
I wouldn’t mind and I don’t care
Except I don’t think it's very fair
He craps all down the windows
And on the back of the chair.
If he keeps that up he’ll soon realize
He’s no longer welcome here.
Till next time,
Calvin
[Author's note: This is only the second free-verse poem I have done. It is a nonsensical poem about this little 'willy wagtail' that seems to be eyeing a new home on my balcony. He chitters away non-stop and swoops on he insects as they arrive. Quite cute really, except that he 'craps' more than a cow, and always down the windows or on the chairs.]
