Red-winged blackbird
How do you fair?
With green-eyed envy
or black-eyed susan?
The spring is a coming
and you'll soon be choosin'
Old black vulture
swarms in the eve
Not blind like the turkey
but they perch like brothers
whilst filching the carrion
off of each other.
Great blue heron
Are you so high?
stalking the reeds
for a prey lies in wait
for your majesty's neck curve
and first lady's gait.
American Coot
as you swim by our van
the children are cold
for the wind's below twenty
your plumage is pretty
but your kind is a-plenty
O great bald eagle
all over the sky
you're not such a diamond
more common than not
but a herd of young ducklings
is bound to get caught.
Blue-grey puffball
Hops on a twig
Watchers admire
and the cold dawn is breezin'
Winter will starve you
for the gnats are a freezin'
American Bittern
is one with the grass.
O. Kinney wants pictures
but nature is shy
it feareth the filmstrip
but not watchful eyes.
