Mocking Bird


Mocking Bird

The mocking bird’s tweet is off-key and shrill
As it imitates the whippoorwill.
Its “Bob White” whistles oddly out its tail,
Ventriloquist-ing the Bob White quail.
But now the comedy is double-decker.
You should see his red-headed woody wood pecker!
Someday my own heart will trill and rejoice,
When I hear that sound, of his own, true voice.
