Bird of Paradise
Such a colorful bird,
Donned in plume so celestial,
Played in the theater of the absurd!
Though an act of love, the vision was blurred,
The theme of the show was carnal and bestial!
But the Bird was a lover,
Free of the restraints of another,
Who high above our hearts did hover!
Oh, this bird is such a heavenly endeavor!
Am I bad for wanting to pluck a feather?
Oh Bird of Paradise,
Open your wings in flight,
For the night sky is your vice –
And it brings the Kings of Man such delight!
You colorful thing, you’re brighter than moonlight!
