“I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
‘We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,’
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.”

Music ~ Chinese Proverb
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. He sings because it has a song. ~Chinese Proverb
Flying High
“Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
And I’m feeling good
I’m feeling good”
– Nina Simone
Short Story
A big glob of bird shit landed squarely on the top of the old man’s head. Not a great way to ruin an otherwise great day that he was enjoying, with his friends.

Sparrows sitting atop the fence
Tweeting and shitting in unison
The life of a little brown bird

The window is open
I hear the bird in
the tree whistling
perhaps calling for
his or her mate
Mr & Mrs Robin
Mrs Robin told Mr Robin
to start fetching twigs
and grass. Mr Robin asked
what for? Mrs Robin said
“remember we had hot
and wild sex, which lasted
half the morning!” Well she
said, “you knocked me up!”
“Oh!” he said.
