Early bird

there was an early birdie
who flew high for all to see
playing the hurdy-gurdy
being better at it than me
my worm was mad about popstars
took it as a special treat
an’ t’listen to it run upstairs
whence there was no retreat
that birdie – what was it doing
so close? a-wooing? a-cooing?
its claws were nimble and firm
it spread its wings a-diving
and by my belated arriving
it grabbed and had the worm
