Every morning Bashir patrols our yard
For his morning constitution
His tuxedo sidekick, an amusing guard
Unique in her locution
🪶
Precocious little corvid friend
Unafraid of my gentle giant
AM’s peaceful silence she must upend
Her mannerisms criant
🪶
Her song is not melodic
Still, reverberant and resonant
No other bird is as prosodic
Caws disquisitive and eloquent
🪶
When Bash settles in the sun
Absorbing its warmth and splendour
She dances to provoke some fun
To chase her, what she chirps for
🪶
I would never think of taming one
Though the urge is strong and pulling
Canine obedience so hard-won
Her there’s no controlling
