Bird Song Serenade

It was early one hot summer morning,
When I heard off key singing through the air,
I looked to see who upset my morning
And bring peace and quiet to the morning air.

I looked around for the cause of the sound
To help give me a renewed peace of mind,
High on a wire was the source of the sound
It was an old black bird that stressed my mind.

I thought if I yelled he would fly away,
I didn't want him in my yard all day,
Nothing I did seemed to scare him away,
Why did I let one bird ruin my day?

The bird couldn't help the sound of his voice,
And I should be a lover of bird songs.
