Life Lessons

He floats and curves And sways and swerves. Never to balk. The red-tail Hawk. --- She's grounded in search Of worms, on the lurch. Her head always bobbin' The red red Robin. --- His voice ne'er the same A song fit for fame. His tune is his word. Melodic Mockingbird. --- She jumps and darts The leaves she parts. Her brood she must tend Oh Carolina Wren. --- His plumage so bright Color red just right. Claiming his ward 'n all Possessive Cardinal. --- Each oh so different Their shape, color, song, Teach us a lesson... How to just get along.
