Topic: Sad Bird Singing

I don't know why all my poems are on the humorous side of late but here's another one.

Sad Bird Singing.

I heard a bird singing.
Looking for a mate.
He didn't have those pretty feathers.
And his singing wasn't great.

That didn't stop him trying.
Though some others thought he should.
He sat upon my window sill.
And sang, because he could.

Pretty birds flying by.
Paid my bird no heed.
Next day when I looked for him.
He'd taken of his leave.

I'd like to think he found a mate.
Nested and made eggs.
His DNA made ugly chicks.
Plain feathers and spindly legs.

Well I think it's funny....fairly funny?

Re: Sad Bird Singing

As the guy on catch fraze says...say what you see. We get a lot of crows and seagull's, ugly birds that make a lot of noise and mess, always after I've washed the car!

Thanks TF and you Jim for giving it a read and comment.

I thought your Sad Bird Singing was great  I laughed for a long time after reading it.

Re: Sad Bird Singing

Thank you, William. The English speaking world just grew larger for me, and it seems to be full of people with a silly sense of humour, just like me.

Re: Sad Bird Singing

Phill
I have a Rose Breasted Grossbeak that is at my window every morning - beautiful bird - lovely to watch.... but always finds a way to poop in or on the bird feeder and seed.
I also had a one legged yellow finch that I named Harold.  It is amazing to me how he makes it in the wild and I always wonder if it was born as such or it was a survivor of something.

Thanks again for the post - cool poem

Jim

Re: Sad Bird Singing

Who names these birds? We have crow, robin, thrush and some tits...the avian variety of course. The most exciting name here for me is the pied wagtail or shigldigwt in Welsh that translated goes shake your butt, actually it's tail but that's not so funny.
Did you name Harold after king Harold? Apparently his last words were...awtch!  I've got a splinter in my finger, I suppose that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...? Toowit towoo!
