Got to thinking of an old favorite song of mine sung by Karen Carpenter. It was a huge hit for its time!

*Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be close to you - from “Close to You” by the Carpenters How soothing are your whispers; how loving is your touch. How tender are your azure eyes, and when you smile, Dear, my worries flee! You have to know, I love you oh so much - my Dream Boy, for whom -when you are near – *birds suddenly appear! July 27, 2020 for the "Four Lines" Poetry Contest of Constance La France

Andrea, please tell me why Woodpeckers suddenly appear Everytime, I am near Simply said They like to peck On my head. On the day that I was born The angels got together, And decided that a dream would never do So they sprinkled sardines on my head And some roses that are really dead And a sleeping bag with Bean and Onslow too That is why, all the birds in town Peck my head, up and down Just like that I need a hat How about you?
