Shock! Horror! I can’t
believe I would see you here
at my super-secret mound
beside this walking track full of tourists
And at the exact moment
I had planned to begin
my rehearsal: I am a very
private, private bird
with so much TAAAAAAALLL-
EEEEENNNNNNNNNTTT
Look-at-my-amazing
TAAAAAAIIIIILLLLL
All I wanted was some
PR-RI-VA-CY
Get-back-here-I-feel-so
VVVIIIIOOOOLLLLAAAATTEEEDD
shimmy-shake-warble
Never gaze on me again
I need solitude
same time tomorrow
