Two In One Day
I lost two budgies
both, in one day,
I am extremely sad
don't know what else to say.
One boy, one girl
they loved each other,
she was older than he
looked after one another.
These were my last two budgies
out of eight, that I had,
now, they're both gone
my heart and soul feel bad.
He may have been loud
but, that didn't mean anything,
he loved listening to other birds
enjoyed it, when they did sing.
She was mostly quiet
slept a lot during the day,
she loved feeling the sunshine
when she was awake, she'd play.
I will miss them both
they were part of the family,
her name was Boo, his was Ice
seeing them, I was filled with glee.

I lost both of my budgies today. The dark blue one, (Boo), passed this morning. The light blue one (Ice), passed this afternoon. They passed only a few hours between the two of them. I cried like a big baby.
