O Little Birdy
O, little birdy,
haven’t you heardy?
You will be plucked today.
Cooing and lovin'
soon in the oven
baked on a silver tray.
Glazed honey sweetened
you will be eatened
served on a plate e'er long.
So, little birdy,
O!, little birdy,
sing to me one last song.
“O! Little Birdy!” was in Rudi Rubberoid’s NOMO THE ZINE, January 1992; then in THE RATTY'S GAZETTE 8, 1995. It was gathered into my chapbook collection LAKE OF THE DEVIL: POEMS OF MOROSITY AND JEST (Seattle: Duck's-foot Tree Productions, 1995) limited to 75 copies.
