Cardinal Request

Could you please just take a bit off the top? I stare at this cardinal, hoping he’ll stop. But surely there is a bird barber shop. Yes, but they never give me a good chop. Afraid I would be an enormous flop, Oh, come on! He says with a little hop. I will sweep your kitchen and even mop. Decide to give me a teensy buzz crop. Thank you so much says the cardinal with slop I’ll sing your praises to firebird and cop. Then with a giant cute wiggle and bebop, He flew straight into the air with a pop. So all of that talk about wanting to mop Was a conniving way to get me to stop Pick up the scissors and give him a crop. He is a cad, a scoundrel, a fop!
