Returning to the garden after a brief sojourn
our friend you find on christmas cards, was found resting on the fence
bringing a spot of additional colour to the trees in the garden
its possible, he was interested in the wildflower seeds
near the little spruce trees – but he raised a smile as he hopped about

Family sit on the bank,
they’ve been doing this for years
keeping an eye out for their neighbours
providing cover from the atlantic wind
for the plants, and sometimes an animal or bird
and giving shade to the pretties in pink
their reward for this task
watching the breakers
coming in to the shore

He’s sat on the tyres by the part of the dock, where
eager shoppers alight ferries and off do they flock
rotating and hopping around by the gate
revolving ideas of what he’d like on his plate
in dock number 5 he waves wings about
noting the waters that he’ll soon make spout
going after the fish – that come out for some bait
! the ones by the air vent, hopping round by the gate

A fly flew round the mulberry bush
the fly himself got bored
he headed for an open window
and through the air he soared
his little wings a flying
he stopped upon something sweet
he landed on the bowl they were in
and decided to enjoy a treat
but then who should come wondering,
as he came out of the cage
with feathers red blue and green
landing by little flies stage
and the bird had our small friend for dinner
as on the orange he munched
so now say goodbye, to our small friend , the fly
who the birdie has just had for lunch

Battery operated radio ?
if you have one of these – expect interruptions
right about now there’s a small feathered friend
doing the fandango up and down on the receiver of the signal
outside and if you
notice a crackle or two – its down to that.
Analogue radio seems to pick up the dancing
Waltzing up and down the aerial
if you listen very carefully – you’ll hear the birds
reacting wildly – so
expect to hear a cheep or two through your headphones

Could it be said, this bird is
as bright as the morning sun ?
noted for its bright yellow plumage
and as chirpy in the afternoon as he is in the morning
rise and shine folks, the morning is here! the little
yellow bird sings out.

Scraping the content from around the brim
While the jar of delight moves in the breeze
It’s manna from heaven for this master of flight
Now clinging on the chains in happiness as the
Green bird gets his fill in the garden

She found the bird hobbling along the beach
and looked after it like her own
but like every child
it grew restless – to spread its wings
and go its own way
so they took a trip back to the shore
where the bird could take flight once more
and while the bird felt the joy of release
the girl felt an aura of peace
The deceased lay prone
Where it sent a message from beyond the skirting board
Everyone was surprised to find feathers,
Expecting to see a more furry resident in the gap
The only question…how did it get there?
In the corner, el gato sat innocent
Not saying a word, the
Goldfish kept a nervous silence

I suppose you thought that was funny ?
here I am sat by the bins
enjoying what could be my only meal for miles
and you decide to disturb my breakfast
Innocently enjoying the fish in the box
then over my foot comes this big heavy rock
expecting me to just fly away
I was too busy eating – no time to play
If I were human – I might have had words
but thing is being feathered – I’m only a bird
you wouldn’t want my beak coming round you to peck
so why use a big stone – I could have broke my neck!
I should count myself lucky – it wasn’t from a gun….
but disturbing my breakfast – wasn’t much fun
so i’ll return the favour – when you come back from the shop
expect something to land – coming down with a plop!
