Birds

Birds

Outside my window
Two ladies
Like chatting magpies

If they had feathers
And a tail
They’d fly the news

Rapid ugly words
Evil birds
Arouse my deep sleep

The neighborhood hens
This rooster
Gonna peck out eyes

Tired of these lies
Gossipy hags
Tittle-tattle spies
Outside my window
      At sunrise.
