Sparrow

No more flocks of sparrows Covering my grass with brown Very few song thrushes flying Or bashing snails on the ground I have seen a Robin redbreast And a solitary little Wren But I don’t think I’ll ever see So many wild birds again Their habitat has been pillaged More staple crops to grow The deadly sprays kill insects That they feed on don’t you know But it doesn’t end there The little wild birds plight Other cultures use sticky branches To trap them in the night And our favourite moggies Deplete the numbers too Killing wild birds every day For something fun to do Let’s try to stop our pets Making some species extinct Put bells around our moggies necks To make them go chink chink
