Dawn Chorus
Listen to Lou ...
The chirps and cheeps are words of birds
on branches in the trees.
They jostle, shriek and snap their beaks,
while boughs sway in the breeze.
I watch the way they dance and play,
a waltz, a jig, hip-hop, ballet …
I wonder when they’ll leave –
then I can get some sleep!
on branches in the trees.
They jostle, shriek and snap their beaks,
while boughs sway in the breeze.
I watch the way they dance and play,
a waltz, a jig, hip-hop, ballet …
I wonder when they’ll leave –
then I can get some sleep!
