Uccelli

Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!

I like to look at the birds and
I like to feed the birds seed
I like to see them fly everywhere
They’re better than humans I swear

The beak
The wings
They peck
It stings!
They fly
They soar
They do
Not Bore
Churp!
They speak!
Sounds
It sings
Feet
They hop
Skip, hop, jump and
Hop some more
Birds
They peep
They roar!

I like to look at the birds – PEEP!
Humans are a bunch of turds –
CHEAP!

Corvids give you gifts
If you’re really nice to them
Albatross can sleep
While actually in flight

I like to look at the birds and
I find them so fascinating
They fly just about everywhere
Humans are dilapidating

A duck’s quack cannot echo
Owls cannot move their eyes but
rotate their heads 270°
Woodpeckers cannot get a headache
But can peck up to 20 times a second

I like to look at the birds (They’re)
Up very high IN THE SKY (in which)
Humans are unable to fly
They jump, fall, hit the ground and die
So they’ll stick to walking

Birds
They eat - Insects
Move seeds - Pollen
Around - From sea
To land - Clean up
After - Mass death
Pigeons - Seagulls
Scavenge - Discard
Food scraps…
Humans - Pollute
Climate - Changing
Threatened - Poisoned
We treat - Careless
(That’s right!)

Birds are such a tremendous gift
They fly over-Oh shit!
(Bird poop!)
I just got shat on!

I like to look at the birds and
I like to feed the birds seed
I like to see them fly everywhere
They’re better than humans I swear
(4x)

We cannot live without them!
