Inspired by Don Li-Leger - Budgie

I'm only a lone little budgie

My feathers beginning to drop

I'm dead on my feet

Just don't want to eat

And something is stuck in my crop.

 

I once had a boyfriend called Nigel

I thought he was sweet and was shy

But he had to go

'Cause I didn't know

He was tweeting some bird on the sly.

 

Santa brought me a mirror this Christmas

Thought that it would brighten my day

But all I can see

Is poor skinny me

With feathers all fading to grey.

 

I used to be a talkative budgie

Happy to be on centre stage

Now the extent of my wit

Is the occasional '#&%*!'

When I fall onto the floor of my cage

 

My time on this planet is waning

It's getting harder getting up off the floor

But don't be downcast

For me, for at last...

High up in the Heavens I'll soar
