Red Feathered Hut
*
A blizzard is coming everyone's in a rush
a cardinal pips out a song about mercy
then retreats into his red feathered hut~
*
People scurrying about gathering things
eaves are quickly collecting ivory dust
above hacking shovels and sweet gasoline~
*
Plowmen and salters are smoothing the ruts
wind chimes lie silent as playground swings
quietly praying for the strays and the bums~
*
Mercifully its over, drifts framing the morning
the crooner comes out of his red feathered hut
pips out a song about the charity of pine trees~
