Rare Finch
RARE BIRD
Sitting outside my window
a Black-throated Finch is there.
This little bird now 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.
he pecks at a worm to dine
this little bird is amazing.
Content to continue grazing
each morsel he chooses with care,
this little bird is amazing,
of extinction he's unaware.
Each morsel he chooses with care,
needs protection before decline.
Of extinction he's unaware
his habitat men want to mine.
Needs protection before decline,
this little bird now is on show,
a Black-throated Finch so fine
Sitting outside my window.
