Those Darling Starlings

Hear those darling starlings - a noisy bunch!
They’re singing their hearts out, Sweetheart.

They’ve taken over the storm-ridden tree.
So brilliantly clean, from beak to wings.

They chatter about the suspended weather.
Only the early morning riser hears their bobbery.

Oaks dripping, white sky, delightful tweets.
I could fly…I could fly - with no weight of pollen.

Hear those darling starlings - a noisy bunch!
They’re singing their hearts out, Sweetheart.

Interesting. Haven't met too many who care for starlings' brand of orchestral tweeting. :)
