Hand
A few playful beaking from him
And I remember
Did not soap the dirt off my hand!
Here I stand
Bothered
Praying
My parrot doesn’t get an infection.
Head*
Because it bothers
Low I stoop
To pen about bird ****!
On my way from office
Fell the hit-never-miss.
Finding no dried leaf
I used my handkerchief
And verified from a stranger
There wasn’t a stain!
Bird **** is a bane.
So they said
Is the chance my head
Would soon be bereft of hair
Quite unfair!
Here I stand
Bothered
Praying
The few remaining don’t leave me.
A few playful beaking from him
And I remember
Did not soap the dirt off my hand!
Here I stand
Bothered
Praying
My parrot doesn’t get an infection.
Head*
Because it bothers
Low I stoop
To pen about bird ****!
On my way from office
Fell the hit-never-miss.
Finding no dried leaf
I used my handkerchief
And verified from a stranger
There wasn’t a stain!
Bird **** is a bane.
So they said
Is the chance my head
Would soon be bereft of hair
Quite unfair!
Here I stand
Bothered
Praying
The few remaining don’t leave me.
