Australaian Magpies
AUSTRALIAN MAGPIES
I woke to a cheerful sound at dawning
As warbling of three magpies greet my day.
They're sitting on tree branches this morning
And warble though the skies have turned to grey.
The magpies are dressed in black and white coats
No need of colours to enhance their charm.
For lavished on them is their silver throats,
A sound that brings to me a healing balm.
Still they continue carolling so sweet,
Three tenors sing in harmony of voice.
Though other birds may sing with chirp or tweet,
But magpies will always be my first choice.
May magpies with their silver throats sing on,
Bringing cheer to the land where they belong.
A Sonnet
