“Stay home” they said, as the birds began to nest So we tidied our homes and made up beds to rest Schools closed their doors, as the chicks began to tweet So we listened to advice, and welcomed home our fleet Children at our feet, as the birds were feeding well So we cooked for our kids and made their bellies swell “Home school” they said, as the chicks prepared to fly So we taught best we could, not teachers but we try We’ll soon be free to roam, as we see chicks leave and glide You’re not so different little birds, we’re all a little wild inside.
