There were a yellow humming bird, And a rich red man full of rage, Who pinched himself - he thought he heard, Bird compliment his shiny cage, - He growled and puffed and shook himself, Blamed it on the end of day, 'Till on his shoulder the bird he felt, "Sir, you've such a stunning cage!" - "What a perfect place to hide!," "Worth a pretty penny I would wage!," Red Man lost his footing; sighed -, "But, Oh! The cost of such a cage!," - "As it shines and glistens there," "I'm trapped to forever die and age," "It's curves and patterns are so rare," "Selling my soul alone would settle out this cage," - A flutter of wings were all he heard, Bird said - "To know me would be sage," "I'm your soul - The Humming Bird!" "Damn the fucking cage!" copyright Fraser Kee Scott '08 See the other poem of his I have posted! Who's in Front of You? Visit his gallery at www.agallery.co.uk! |
