Empty Nest Syndrome??

Said Mrs Bird to Mr Bird while sharing a meal one chilly March day

"I've had enough of this already

Let's get away.

 

Let's go south like our friends the Robins

They've got their heads screwed on right,

We were the wrong ones."

Mr Bird thought long and hard

"You know, you may have something dear

maybe we should leave this yard.

This winter's been a cold one, that's one thing that's sure

I'd like to take off for a while

We'll go see a travel agent

And pick up a brochure."

"But what about our nest?"

The Mrs cried out

And she suddenly became quite distressed.

 

"We can't just leave it to the forces that be

We can't abandon it,

High up in the tree!"

"Well now that's a fact"

the Mr agreed

Wait just a minute, I have an idea."

As the Mrs watched, her amazement grew

For Mr Bird pushed the nest from the tree

and into a snowbank it flew.

 

"I know the human that walks her dog here

Three times a day

she'll see the nest

She'll know what to do.

She'll bring it home

And keep it safe for us too

And we can bid old man winter

A hearty adieu!

 

When we come back in the spring,

It'll be waiting for us,

We won't miss a thing!"

So the Mr and Mrs flew away to the south

And the human kept the nest safe

For that's what friendship's  about.
