A Sweet Feathered Friend

In pleasant hours of summertime When all the pretty flowers shine A chaffinch ~ just six inches long Sings a chirpy little song Until the daylight's gone. He welcomes in a sunny day With song, he takes our care away A picture of this finch on high And we say 'Oh Me Oh My' Wonders never die. In golden shrubs, just take a stare You may see a chaffinch there Breeding fledglings, olive brown Singing tweet-tweet of renown Such a pretty sound. Come little breeding bird Here you belong Singing and winging In happy throng.
