The African Grey.

Who's a pretty boy then?
far better that you fly
away from your prisoned pen
and up into the sky.


Pretty Polly,what's your name?
I hate to see you there
if only they would feel the same
and your feathers feel the air.

I'd love to set you free
back where you belong
into the green canopy
to hear you sing your song.
