The Mockingbird's Tale






 "Your turn", said I, ending my song of the day

Was it French or Italian, I cannot say

I repeat what I hear, and I do it well

No tricks, no gimmicks just a glorious spell


Larger than most in this flying band

I can sing more songs than you can count on a hand

Tho' some folk think me an outright  bully,

I'm a regular mate, just a little unruly.


I'm mostly gray and brown to view

My eyes quite large with a golden hue

I'm solid white when seen from below

With black and white on wings that glow


I sing like you and all that I hear

I like to share good songs of cheer

A bird that copies what other birds sing

Is a mocking bird of a different wing.
