My Conure
Little birdie, chirpy and petite,
you're not the kind I'd like to eat,
though your cheeks are green with a cinnamon streak.
Your voice makes a gym sneaker-like squeak.
Your rainbow colors are full of luster
and your physique is fluffy like a feather duster.
Your wings are sleek and iridescent,
and you have a fresh, local pond scent.
Little birdie, you're more than a treat.
You're charming and playful, caring and neat.
You dangle upside down just to please,
and stand on one leg with a gymnast's ease.
Little birdie, chirpy and petite,
you're not the kind I'd like to eat.
I'd never leave you, my little bird,
nor mistreat you, my little bird.
I'd never eat you; that’d be absurd.
