TWO SPARROWS
Two sparrows, feeding,
Heard a thrush
Sing to the dawn,
The first said, “Tush!
In all my life
I never heard
A more affected
Singing bird.”
The second said,
“It’s you and me
Who slave to keep
The likes of he.”
“And if we cared,”
Both sparrows said,
“We’d do that singing
On our head.”
The thrush pecked sideways
And was dumb.
“And now,” they screamed,
“He’s pinched our crumb!”
