Buttons and Peaches

 

Exchanging endearing coos with my birds,

Each with their glorious array of feathers

And some attempting to articulate words;

All unbounded and lacking of tethers.

 

Buttons, the button thieving cockatoo,

Throws at me his charismatic gazes,

Whilst sister Peaches preens thorough and through;

Character and charm�"I find�"still amazes.

 

My flattery and coyness excites spite,

From life’s companion who is out of my sight.
