In Aviaries
(English Rondeau)
dgw 5-25-13 v1
In aviaries the finch thrives
With his finch children and finch wives
Snuggling on the finch sofa bed,
As hair transplants on your smooth head,
As in your red clay pot your chives.
And the finch car on Sunday drives
None too far. In fact it arrives
Securely home before it fled.
In aviaries.
Chicken-wire walls would give you hives?
Landscapes by Currier and Ives
Are more your kind of thing. Well said!
And yet your landscapes are painted
On a tin of olives. What gives?
In aviaries.
