baby robin rescue

Ween:

Oh little birdy, oh little birdy

I saw the little birdy sing
He sang with glee and everything
He sang for spring and sang for me
And everything was so happy

I don't know why I want to fly
Try to sigh, try to fly, made a tie
And then it tried to get me down
I want to buy make me fly
Get me high, so I can try
And then I try
The little birdy start to cry so happy
Little birdy was so happy
Little birdy was so happy

Can I touch your birdy wing?
And fly and hop and everything
Can the sun reach down on us
And through the heavens only we would sing

I want the birdy make me laugh
See the birdy make me laugh
Take a little birdy bath
I don't know why he got me high
I don't know why, I don't know why
It cannot die, it sang too high
And all the birds on the wing sang so together

So together, so together




Kristin Hersh:

Little birdy, little birdy
What makes you fly so high?
It's because I am a birdy
And I'm not afraid to die

Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
I've a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone

Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your wing so blue?
It's because I've been a-grievin'
Grievin' after you

Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
I've a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone

Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your head so red?
After all that I have been through
It's a wonder I ain't dead

Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
I've a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone

In it together

Yesterday I saw a male Robin and a male Cardinal sitting together on a fence rail posturing like they were talking about the missus at home. Or like two family heads conversing about the neighborhood. Or like tribal chiefs considering this year's trade. There is a working relationship with the Robin and the Cardinal--I swear they were considering something. The Cardinal, a highly attractive bird that lives his life monogamously, is the center of it's small territory due to it's habit of staying in one place year around. A Robin's territory is wider spread. The Robin, a spring and summer visitor, knows to take heed to the Cardinal who spends it's entire life in one place. Good show, Robin. That's smart thinking. If the Cardinals and the Robins are in it together, then surely we are too.

Disney Dizzy

I get so mad at a Robin

When I walk by and she

Won't relax and realize

That I will not hurt her

I never consider that

She must protect herself

Why won't she oblige me in

My Disney Sleeping Beauty or Snow White (take your pick)

Fantasy of animals fearlessly

Landing on my shoulder or wrist

Welcoming my arrival

I should really work on my singing
