There’s a thing you’ll notice

If you study a sparrow

Its hair is long

And its waist is narrow

Now I know what you’re thinking

Birds don’t have hair

But really pay attention

You’ll see that it’s there

So take a fresh look

You’ll find sparrows are yummy

Just a word of advice

Don’t look at their tummy

   if you look at the tummy of a common sparrow
   you`ll see that it`s covered in big arrows
   this is `coz it`s escaped from the nick
   yes, it`s a jailbird. you cottoned on quick.
   but don`t turn your back
   don`t give some slack
   coz it`ll pinch all your cash
   then make a dash
   for the nearest hedge or maybe a tree
   as it will allways be a jailbird you see

     The sparrow is a powerful bird. It’s mystical influence is reflected in their prominence in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Probably.

   This lovely sparrow
   has a thought that she’s drab
   she likes to spice things up
   by smoking a tab
   she’s got a notion
   that a tatoo might make her racy
   she’s off to the ‘Dam
   with William H. Macy
   Now sherby’s all worried
   that she’ll be defaced
   like a glitch in the matrix
   or a scar on a face
   But don’t worry Sherbs!
   It’s probably all talk
   She’ll just hop about
   flap her wings and squark

     This has become
     The most poetical of threads
     From a monkey with a treehouse
     To an angel with some sheds

     My aversion to tattoos
     Is really quite funny
     Just don’t come back
     With a playboy bunny

   you poetical threads*
   sit on your frame quite well.
   or maybe it`s a big tattoo
   it`s kinda hard to tell.

   the sparrow wants to get one,
   a little birdy on a thoroughbred horse?.
   because she thinks that maybe
   it will spice up her sauce.

   well, sherby has his worries,
   that she will be defaced.
   but unlike the speedy racehorse
   it`s not been done in haste.

   so worry not my wordy pal
   a tattoo can be like friend or lover.
   one you see for chats `n stuff
   or underneath the cover

   [...] Sparrows – A Poem – A fitting poetic tribute to the sparrow, the loveliest of all birds.  And it’s got the nicest hair. [...]
