Sparrow On Fire

There once was a Sparrow name Fred
Who wished to be a Robin instead?
His dull feathers of brown
Were, making him frown
He pined for a breast of bright red.

Fred fell in love with a Robin Redbreast - He asked her if she'd like to share his nest - She went off bob bobbin - Sparrow Fred was sobbing - And couldn't remove the red paint off his chest……… Belle
