A Living Quartet

FOR(FOUR)BEAUTIFUL BIRDS

watching close from afar,the thieving magpie

cock robin,here all year around
awakens up our morn
with a territorial sound-
defends his corner before dawn
from trespass upon his new born

the gifted song-thrush
melodious,loud and clear
in my heart held dear-
'did he do it,judy did'
rings out on high,far and near.

o'er robin,song thrush and magpie,
the red kite soars, so lonely on high
