Morning Bird song (A poem kind of)

9 replies

I woke up early one morning, the earth lay cool and still.
When suddenly a tiny bird perched upon my window sill.
He sang a song so lovely,so carefree and so gay,
that slowly all my troubles began to slip away.
He sang of far off places,of laughter and of fun,
it seemed his very trilling brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers, crept slowly out of bed,
then gently shut the window and crushed his fricking head.

i am not a morning person

(sorry bird lovers)

we have loads that sing all day, it's so nice at first

I agree it is nice, we have birds and they really do screech after a while.
They are in the conservatory at the moment, with all the windows open and the door. so they are not too hot.

i don't keep them, but there's a row of trees at the end of the garden that house magpies, blackbirds, parrots, cooing doves, pigeons and blue tits at the moments so it's noisy

Yay!! Heard this years ago (when I was about 8!), and could only ever remember the last line (except it was tiny rather than fricking )

It was F*ing not fricking, but i didn't want to swear on here.

My sister was told it by her teacher, hence the tiny head

Oi stirred beneath the coveers, crept slowly owt of beed,
then gently shut the window and crushed his fricking 'ed.
