The marshy lands,the meadows green,
The miraculous creations are yet to be seen.
The nature's beauty spread around,
The swaying flowers,the chirpy sound.
The mountain peaks ,reaching the sky,
The wonderful creatures, fly free so high.

Happy attitude,
Spreading smiles, peace fun zen, share
Annoying chirpies!
My grandma said to me,
Be a warrior for Christianity,
Celebrate our blessed Lord,
His eternal Love, we're awed,
His healing, powerful, strong,
Our faith does linger on,
Join our good vibes tribe,
Think chirpy, no diatribe,
Pray together is the plan,
Praise Jesus, son of God, son of Man,
I still sense my Grandma's loving hands,
Finally, we can all understand....

This song has simple lyrics, and is easy to sing.
If you listen, it may have a familiar ring.
Back in 1971, this was quite a catchy tune.
It was a hit for siblings Mac and Katie Kissoon.
This brother and sister hailed from Trinidad.
Middle of the Road also had a version that was not bad.
The song seems appropriate for any sing-a-long.
Introduce it to your friends, and you can't go wrong.
I thank both wikipedia.org and allmusic.com for information I obtained to write this poem.
"Chirpy chirpy children ride a blue and white train"
( A caption of a rail journey photograph)
Blue and white box
As if your eyes
Pictures in Inox
Outside a swarm of birds flies
Sweet chirpy chirpy ...
Listen to the children in their seats
Blue and white train
As if your sari
Children chatter
Sweet chirpy chirpy ...
Sweets on platter
From the Pantry car
The train halts
Near a school
Sweets and salts vendor
Children straightening their tie
Tiffin time over
Sweet chirpy chirpy ...

A chirpy bird with colored wings
Lends solace everyday
To the great sage whose wisdom brings
Advice to those astray.
The children taught by him are now
The mighty of the land,
Yet when they see him pass they bow
And humbly shake his hand.
He has no wealth which eyes can see,
But he is glad and proud
That his disciples came to be
Admired and praised aloud.
He could have spent his life in quest
For nothing else but gold,
Yet, poor indeed, he feels so blessed
His soul not to have sold.
