Housewren Chapter Five

When does a birdsong
become almost annoying?
Now, Mr Housewren.

It's a pretty song.
Bubbly and cheerful and all.
But it never stops.

Have you ever thought
you might be endangering
your wife and children?

Calling attention
to your nest with that constant
twittering, I mean?

Most male birds with nests
Are watchful and protective.
Present but quiet.

What makes you different?
Throwing caution to the wind,
like you do? Pure joy?
