Two plump pigeons sitting on a line
Soaking up the sun, feeling fine
Taking a moment to carefully preen
Just in case they should be seen
By a hummingbird on a nearby vine

Imagine if you will
The unexpected thrill
Fresh-baked cookies on a rack
The cook has turned their back
And you can eat your fill

Pitter, patter, plunk, SPLAT
No birds in view, mused the cat
The sky turned from blue to grey
And raindrops massive, all the day
Children play inside, darn it, SCAT

Keeping the goal in sight
Though darkness fills the night
Believe in your dreams
The guidance of moonbeams
Helps you sprout wings to take flight

What you do and do well
Is the stuff you should tell
You’ll get their attention
When with joy you mention
The things that ring your bell
