Blackbirds

Blackbird sits on a branch Just outside my window. He looks at me and swears In a raucous voice With no punctuation... I know it's something supremely dirty -- Blackbirds have no manners.. And they always know By the light behind my eyes I'm mad for cats... It's a good thing they can fly....
