Okay, this is totally kitsch, and doesn't reflect the bird you see above at all, however, my Nan used to recite the craziest "poems" to me when I was a kid.
I still remember a few of them very well, especially the ones that seemed most rude at the time, way back then.
This was a particular favourite of mine..."Birdie, birdie in the sky, dropped some whitewash in my eye, Gee, I'm glad that cows don't fly"
Isn't that just shameful?!... Still makes me chuckle when I think about my Nan's "poetry". It's no wonder I'm a painter and not a writer. All those visuals dancing around in my head.
Thanks for visiting... Of course, after reading this post, you just might not want to return. ; )

Oh my gosh, what a cute poem and I love this sweet bird painting. Birds are just so friendly and yours is singing a special tune.
Lisa, thank you! That's really lovely of you to say! : )
My Nan had many little "poems". All of them would raise the eyebrow of an eight year old, well, back in the 1970's, anyhow! Probably not today!
The music note was a last minute addition. So glad you like it! Just seemed to be needed in the picture!
Cheers! K
