Be Safe Little House Wren

To be so noisy
On the day of your first flight
Seems a bit risky

Still being helpless
I'd think you'd be more prudent
As well as quiet

Such a gaudy squawk
Given how bubbly and sweet
Your song will become

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?

Housewren Chapter Four

Finally she chose
his best offer and moved in
Nevermind plumbing

With her artful skill
of lining the sticks with fluff
she could make it do

She knew she had to
For now her eggs were coming
She'd no time to waste
