Little Birdie In the Window

'spring forth'
called the sparrow
to the little blue jay

'come forth'
called the sparrow 
to the master cardinal

'fly forth'
called the sparrow 
to the fowl population

'twitter tworth'
called the sparrow
to the big snowy owl

'flitter forth'
called the sparrow
to the little pond of ducks

'see this dwarf?'
asked the sparrow
to the little crowd of friends

'of course'
said the sparrow
'he flew forth first'
