“Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
The Raven EDGAR ALLAN POE

Birds

Face to face
Eye to eye
This was one race
Which could go awry

Standing there
Assessing me
Its glare
Devouring me

Without any warning
Flying across the air
Giving me the scare
Looking with scorning

No escape
Its mouth agape
It tilted its head
Quoth the bird “Polly wants a cracker”

I believe in training by rising gently up
and down from the bench”

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

I’m so happy, happy, happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
I’m so happy, happy, happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Sleeping in sunshine, whoa
I am sleeping in sunshine, yeah
And don’t it feel good
Hey, all right now!
