BIRDIE PERCHES
–
Robins on a chain-link fence,
Bothered they flew off hence…
Fat feathered and firm
Looking for the worm
Tto feed young ladies and gents.

“GO IN AND OUT THE WINDOW”
“GO IN AND OUT THE WINDOW” *
Little sparrows playing hence,
In and out the chain-link fence…
Playing late-season hard-to-get
Too late now to brood, I bet!
–
Children’s game–did it arise
From observing sparrow guise…
In and out a latticed way,
Daisy-chains of children play?
–Jonathan Caswell
* A traditional children’s song and game…in America…from Colonial times.
