Rare Bird

RARE BIRD Sitting outside my window A Black throated finch is there This little bird is on show Seldom seen, could become rare. A Black throated finch is there Hoping he'll stay for some time Seldom seen, could become rare Pecks at a worm to dine. Hoping he'll stay for some time Content to continue grazing Pecks at a worm to dine This little bird is amazing. Content to continue grazing Each morsel chosen with care This little bird is amazing Of extinction he's unaware. Each morsel chosen with care Needs protection before decline Of extinction he's unaware His habitat men want to mine. Needs protection before decline Mining endangers we know This Black-throated finch so fine Sitting outside my window. Copyright © Vivien Wade 2014 A Pantoum
