the warbler mocks me
for working

High up on a branch
The songbird slaves at singing
Tired of his work

my daughter whistles
searching for the singing bird
my neighbor whistles..................it was so cute, my daughter was whistling a bird song and a "bird" answered her. She was trying to find it, so she continued whistling, as did the neighbor across the street, who was also looking up the tree for the "bird" which had answered his bird call. When they realized that they were answering each other, both their faces turned beet red. ~Q~

Cool,i bet they both laugh about it,now.
Birds are so wonderful and sound great.
I could not carry a tune,and yet,they
all sing beautiful songs naturally...:)V
