Listen, Listen Do

The flop and flurry of wide, woozy wings clatters over dawn hedgerows. Claws scrabble, feathers flounce. An ounce of twitters rebounds into raucous sound. Here a rowdy cackle, here a coddled coo, there a deeply fluted hoo-hoo all together in a ruffled flutter. Birdsongs pump up, light airy balloons into chattering tunes. The sky jitterbugs a cloud or two. Listen, listen do, Listen to the hullaballoo the mad glad galloping away of a musical play where the singalong nips at our ears with catcalls and cheers. Another teaming twitter and fuss strikes up its band for us. Another cacophonic day lurches as sleepy birds and the wide awake gleefully roll off their nocturnal perches.
