Notes About The Poem
He
Mocks
Me
He Mocks Me
A mockingbird outside my door will sing
He serenades and taunts me with his song
In early morn before alarm can ring
He sings year-round, not only in the spring
I try to tell myself he’ll not last long
A mockingbird outside my door will sing
At times his little neck I’d like to wring
Though surely he thinks I should play along
In early morn before alarm can ring
This bird sings loudly, thinking he is king
Although I beg for quiet, he’s headstrong
A mockingbird outside my door will sing
Ignoring me when I cry out, “Take wing!”
This agony I choose not to prolong
In early morn before alarm can ring
With lady birds, you’d think he’d have a fling
I fear I’m doomed to listen all lifelong
A mockingbird outside my door will sing
In early morn before alarm can ring
