Susan Mills Poet Imagism

If Humans Chirped

If humans chirped, chirped, chirped
What would it sound like if they burped?

Would it sound like a chirp-up?
Or like they got their leg caught in a stirrup?

If humans chirped and ate and burped
Would it sound divine or like they lurched?

Would it sound as if they ate worms?
Or ate lobster and with the cook they came to terms?

Ahhh, lets just wonder what it would sound like
if humans chirped and if they would use a mic?
