To the Birds
from Radio Days Hosted by Mr Gee poet
To the Birds (Broadcast: April 7th 2012) . Two Red Robins awoke early one morning, Father & Son sharing a moment of calling, In the magical hours between dew drops & dawn, When all is calm with the world, . Said Son to Father: "Dad why do we sing?" And puff up our chests & limber up our wings, It seems to me, to be a bird is but a lowly thing, When man is in charge of this world, . He builds a nest so big, that it makes love to the sky, He wears feathers in all colours, in all shapes & sizes, His wings are invisible, yet he flies so high, So why should we sing in this world? . Said the Father to the Son: "Man indeed is strong" He walks as proud as a peacock & has the grace of a swan, He even goes a little cuckoo, when the weather goes wrong, For he believes he's in charge of this world, . He puts a feather in his cap & tries to rule the roost, But whenever he gets scared he feels the bump of a goose, For we used to be dinosaurs & that's the truth, And that's why we sing in this world. .
