Weird Bird

Weird-Bird 

by Shel Silverstein

 

Birds are flyin' south for winter.

Here's the Weird-Bird headin' north,

Wings a-flappin', beak a-chatterin',

Cold head bobbin' back 'n' forth.

He says, "It's not that I like ice

Or freezin' winds and snowy ground.

It's just sometimes it's kind of nice

To be the only bird in town."

What Do the BeadieBirds Do?

  

Some birds build their nests of twigs,

Some of mud or loam.

Lichen, string, feathers, rocks

And shells can make a home.

There are owls who live in cacti.

Eagles dwell in canopies.

Some pelicans build nests on rocks

And penguins?  Rookeries.

But what of birdies made of glass?

The genus known as Beadie?

For those the lampwork artists toil

So glass birds won't be needy.
