A Robin Without A Song

A Robin without a Song

Though he may not be able to sing in key,

No other bird could sing with such emotion as could he,

His notes came out in a cacophony of noise,

Others couldn’t hear what he thought was a great voice;

He practiced and practiced to woo a pretty bird,

But she thought he was the worst she had ever heard,

With a broken heart, he flew away in shame,

Singing quietly to himself, with only himself to blame;

He thought he was alone, without a song,

Until another cacophonous voice came along,

She sang what she thought was in key,

But no lady bird could have such passion as she;

Now the tree is filled with two voices off-key,

Other birds say he sounds horrible, and so does she,

But they could not possibly be any more happy,

Than singing their love song high up in their tree.
