I'm not old fashioned I'm just from a time when everything was better !
Tether me with flowers
bring me sunshine everyday !
Do not ruffle up my feathers
when I'm doing it my way !
Fasten smiles upon me say,
"Go ahead, do it your way !"

Said the mockingbird to the lonely bobwhite:
“Your call is nice, but it really isn’t quite right,
Ruffle up your feathers and rear back on a leg
Whistle in loudest voice, like you drank a keg,
I mean, who am I to criticize your distinct call
I’m inclined to borrow from others, after all.”
Said the lonely bobwhite to the mockingbird:
"Why is it those who can’t, well, act like a turd?
I don’t mind if you want to borrow my voice
It matters not to me, it’s entirely your choice,
Remember, however, I am hunted as a quail
So, perhaps, in this case, you’d be wise to fail!"
