The Owl Wants To Marry The Rainbow Lorikeet Poem by Raj Arumugam

will you marry me,
O rainbow lorikeet;
you sweet colorful beauty
who turns every place
you rest at
into a Disney fantasy…
will you marry me,
just an owl,
dull but wise
and nocturnal?
ah, will you marry me
my sweetheart, my beauty?



Oh, yes, yes, yes,
dearest owl
wise but dull
wise but dull;
I, rainbow lorikeet,
do take thee
for spouse:
for I will fly in the garden
with no care or worry
as you keep an eye
for me
on all the terrain
on all the terrain
that will be the playground
of our very own children
our own very children
