The Haw Haw Bird Poem by Bob Gibson

Last night I heard the Haw haw bird, not in my dreams! i plainly heard
her cry, it echo'ed through the night, on and on till days first light
never one I 've seen in flight, but then I've only looked at night
its body is black and wing of blue, a red beak and legs askew
did I mention legs three in all? never seen her take a fall!
or on wing! there's only one! she flies in circles all day long
her warble, let me relate, although unusual, it sounds great
I laugh at her each time she talks, . and laugh again when she walks
her feet are not three abreast more, in line with her chest!
her wing is centered above her tail, allowing access for the male
her beak is astoundingly red! from eating juniper berries instead,
of, avocado green on tree, that keeps her free from fly and flea
what a strange bird I have here, she nests in my tractor from year to year
I'd get rid of her if fortune begs! but I admit, I love her eggs
