A Shimpy, Whimpy Marbler

A skimpy, wimpy marbler with gray and unkempt wings was looking for a mate and cooing fell into a cascade from a steep rocky slope... ah, that wasn't his scope; he shivered in the flowing waters that took him very far, to a valley with plenty of fruits and he gladly decided to stay, so sure to put up a family. A skimpy, wimpy marbler disliked by mockingbirds for his lack of good looks warbles on the dogwood tree to attract a companion to spend his short existence with her; will he find that true one in this valley where thousands of birds are already wed? A skimpy, wimpy marbler tries his luck elsewhere, he had enough of solitude and nights without a mate; the Rainbow Bee Eaters and the Yellow Warblers refuse to play with him and share an afternoon of delightful play... hear him cooing aloud and flying away!
