Little Birdies (poem)

3/28/2004

Listen to the twitters,
listen to their song!
The pretty birds are calling –
They want to come along!

Let’s take them to our playground
and dance around the moon.
Let’s sing among the flowers
a chirpy little tune.

With hopping, skipping, jumping
We’ll set off on a flight.
We’ll soar among the planets
Every morning, day and night.

Let’s race the shooting stars
And float to watch the sun.
Come on, little birdies,
Let’s go and have some fun!

The fairies are calling us
And want us to play.
We’ll smile and laugh
And have such a jolly day.

The gremlins are giggling.
The gnomes are jumping too.
So go on over to them,
They’re beckoning you.

Come on, little birdies!
Come on! Let’s go!
We’ll fly to the mountains
And frolick in the snow.

We’ll play among the forest
And catch the leaves that fall.
Follow yellow birdies
Don’t you hear my call?

We’ll spin around the round about
And swing high on the swings.
We’ll slide down the slide
And run around in rings.

Hurry, little birdies!
I’m desperate to play!
I want to sing. I want to dance!
It’s just over this way!
