Thread Name: Songs about bird watching?
Subject: RE: Songs about bird watching?
That poem, Don, makes me think that Les must have read this one by Robert Frost:
I stepped on the toe
Of an unemployed hoe.
It rose in offense
And struck me a blow
On the seat of my sense.
Now it wasn't to blame
But I called it a name
For I must say it dealt
Me a blow that I felt --
Like malice prepense.
Now, wasn't there a rule
That a weapon should be turned into a tool?
And what do I see? The first tool I step on
Turns into a weapon.
(not sure about the line breaks -- I didn't look it up, just the old faulty memory.)
Blessings,
Barbara
