There he stands,
As pert as can be
Ruler of all,
In the sycamore tree;
Fresh from his roost,
Taking the day
Singing his song,
He's something to say.
There he is,
As cool as a king
Awaiting his mate,
Embracing the spring;
A turn of the head,
A feather to preen
A nest to be built,
To offer his queen.
There he stands,
Looking his best
His tilted-up tail,
His cherry-red chest;
A gleam in his eye,
A worm in his bill
And for all I know,
He's standing there still.
