The Cardinal
In the springtime, what is that I hear?
It's an aviary call sounding like "cheer, cheer, cheer".
I use my binoculars to look up in a tree.
Through the lenses, what a delightful sight I see!
He's covered in feathers that are colored a bright red.
A very intense shade from his tail to his head.
Sights in the spring don't get any better than this.
I don't even live in or near St. Louis.
