Giving Him the Bird

I see your bright colored plumes and your cocky arrogant beak 
you think you got a trumpet in my ear but oh ,you wait and see 
how beautiful the end result will be, once you CLAMP 

It is no ones business but my own what I write and re-write in 
the name of perfection. Cat got your tongue? Well finally we 
got some peace round here, I'm entering IT 

Are you expecting those old parrot tapes to enter my heaven?
I'm busy inputting so I I can't hear your hell  
so fly away from me bird from Alcatraz cuz I'm not this,    OR 

That,                  
                        I will not listen anymore.    REMOVE 
that silly grin off your plucky face and give me room to be 
the best that I can be.  I'm unreeling, re-dealing, getting
ready for the authentic manuscript of the Century. So bird on 
you....                                            Get over  YOURSELF 
You don't own monopoly to my mind nor my imagination 
get going bird, I got it covered so pluck those poisoned feathers
off my back and let me grow wings, that won't harm or attack

leave me in peace to write .
