The Magpie

I heard the magpie chortle
On a blue sky sunny day

She must be so pleased
In the Australian native way

Then smiling she looks at me 
And chortles again – will she stay?

Black and white proud you see
Spreads her wings and flies away

The queen of what she sees
Do you wish it was you today?
