Desperate For a Date

All day long the little bird cries
Over and over again he tries
Full array for all the ladies passing by

Can't they see he's found a home
Where little babies can be grown
But he cannot do it alone

He's desperate for a date
He really needs a mate
In month of May it's not too late

On the little red house there sits a perch
Where on and off he chirps and chirps
But all the ladies only flirt

So alas this tale has but a sad end
As the little house sits with no one to attend
For it seems his services he could not lend

I did like playing kickball with the neighborhood kids! I was in gymnastics too, but my passion has always been horseback riding.

An enjoyable sweet tale, though a tad sad, Chris. Pity all the ladies want to do is flirt! At least humans have dating agencies:) Regards // paul

Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it...it was actually quite hilarious to watch him puff up and scream all day. God does have a sense of humor.
