One of the Sleepy Seven

I wish I had
a talking bird
to tell me 
what to do

she could ride 
really high (and miles ahead)
and show me what
to do

she could eat 
the worms beneath my feet
no Furies on me instead

then I could dream
beside the stream
and say its all in my
head

and say its all in my
head

The flow and meter nicely couch this mellow musing. Has a classic feel, does it not?
