Poem

There once was a land
they called Beautiful Tree
the best of the lands
where the birds want to be

Then, there were only
the Cards and the Jays
no other birds had yet 
flown in to stay

Nesting in groups
with a thickness of thieves
the flocks ever growing 
outnumbered the leaves

Soon there was pecking
each with their order
defending their branches
defining their borders

Then one day the Cards
took control of the place
changing the rules 
at a blistering pace

The Jay's were disheartened
and flustered, they flittered
their soaring blue skies
ever darkened with twitter 

The Jays still believed
they could all live as one
but if ever to be 
something had to be done

Yet try as they may
and with all of their might
the Jays gentle spirits
weren't up to the fight

Watching the Cards
taking care of their own
hogging the tree
with their true colors shown

Consumed by their greed
and driven by pride
hoarding resources 
as new fledglings died

With no other enemies 
left to declare 
they turned on each other
defiant to share

The Jays knew the secret
for them to survive
was joining together
so all birds could thrive

The Cards stacked the deck
to their utter demise
as the powerful peeps
of the Jays would arise

Singing so sweetly
in harmonic rhyme 
even the Cards
were found singing in time

Soon to return 
to their Beautiful Tree
ready to cleanup
the mess there would be

Once again living
a life less absurd
Isn't this Beautiful Tree
for the birds?
