O Birdies Tweeting
O birdies tweeting,
singing faithful tunes.
There’s no way
to know if you saw
a sign, “Vacancy,”
or if you own a limb.
O birdies tweeting,
sweetly and completely
surrounded by Spring.
Matters not if it's hot,
no complaints of rain.
O birdies tweeting,
how many occupy
my backyard skies?
Do you dart from
oak to pine;
are the scents divine?
O birdies tweeting,
how is it I never feel
bored, but attuned
to your

Little Birdies Flew Away
Diffused soft twilight blush glimmers on the mountains,
birds returning to their nests at quiet dusk,
I, lonely in my backyard garden,
watch the vermillion sky at golden sunset,
the last rays of sun below horizon gradually being wiped out,
listening to birds crooning and chirping to their mates,
making sure their offsprings are fed, taken care of!
Aha! The warm nest -

Birdies On a Branch
Birdies on a branch are cuddled up so fine
Bunched up closer than clothespins on a line
Snoring in sync, a luscious lullaby in a whispery way
The rest of the forest animals cannot look away
Their mama is gone, says one. Let’s help them to have lots of fun.

Nine Birdies On a Line
Nine birdies on a line going tweet tweet tweet
With communication skills that are way too sweet
Their wings flutter faster than their tiny hearts beat
We spy crackers on the ground, so good to eat!

Perch For Birdies
Mr. Giraffe was as docile as a tall creature can be.
He hid among the leaves of a Cottonwood tree.
The birds discovered him and said “whee whee whee!”
He is our newest perch. They were happy as could be!

Birdies - Nursery Rhyme
Born as bird is a boon
Board on bees and bugs
Birdies burble a tune
Budge all blooms and buds
Flick! Flip!! Flap!!!
Bathe in becks and brooks
Best buddy of a baby
Blowing beaks of rooks
Make little ones crazy
Chitter! Chirp!! Clap!!!

Birdies and Porkies
A young golfer came down from Finghall
to play a complete round as a single.
Then at the Friar's Head
some tall tales he did spread
as there among friends he did mingle.
A veteran of the course at Akebar
believed that this story went too far.

Like the Birdies
With all of life's many ups and downs
Looking outside can't help but frown
Wish I was as free
Like the birdies I see
Flying around making my poor heart pound

Two Birdies
I have you near right here in my heart
I noticed the feeling from the start,
while that emotion is strong
another one is King Kong...
Not that! A partner for my golf cart!

Naked Birdies
With all of life's many ups and downs
I look outside and can't help but frown
Wish I was as free
As the birdies I see
Flying around naked making my poor heart pound

Do Birdies Have Radar
How come birds never run into things
Are they born with radar under their wings
Humans should take note
Strap a radar gun under our coat
Instead of ending up with our head in a sling

Dirty Birdies
They might be dirty birdies… but of course I love them so.
Even with the birdseed scatters far across the floor.
But I doubt they’re really dirty since they crowd my birdbath so.
And with the drought outside my door I let their water flow.
They flutter around the bowl with ease as it empties twice a day.
And I

Hunting For Birdies
I wouldn't mind par
but I'd prefer a birdie
anything but one, double, or
triple bogey.
Eagles are too high for my aim
but I still love this game.
After the eighteenth I'll
have a drink at the bar
and let my mind soar.
