Continuing our series of poems about birds, to celebrate our Watermill Early Bird special offer, here’s another one by the prolific writer Anon, which is short and to the point:
The early bird,
So, I have heard,
Captures the worm,
And on my word,
I know two chaps,
And yet a third,
Could learn a lesson
From that bird.

But I can’t resist leaving you with another piece of Brooklyn doggerel and some astute anatomical observation:
Di Spring is Sprung,
Di grass is riz.
I wonder where dem boidies is?
Di little boids is on di wing.
Ain’t that absoid?
Di little wings
Is on di boid!
