To Be a Bird

OH--- To be a beautiful bird
                             Flying in flocks, not in herds
                             Anywhere, deposit some turds
                             Is so awfully awesome
                             Not even a little absurd

                                  for a bird  <((:))

                             Fly up high, fly down low
                             In the sunshine, in the snow
                             Look forward to summer
                             For the mow from Lowes
                             To yield home materials
                             For nest big as a Hummer

                                   for boasting birds
                              tweeting about THEIR twigs 
                                and THEIR tree  <((:))

                             It's not the time to mow !!??
                             What a birdie building bummer
                             The weather is dumb and dumber 
                             Earth in global warming blunder
                             Erratic patterns, bizarre thunder
                             Even for those who live down under

                             birds with ocean view homes  >((:))

                             But birds never falter or fail
                             To bring visual delight
                             Without fail
                             They will prosper and prevail
                             Though Heaven and through hail

                             OH--to be a beautiful bird !!!
                             Summers in the Hummer
                             Colder head south of the border
        
                            <((:))     >((:))      <((:))     >((:))
