Partaking in pleasantries
Long loungerooms of livery
Is not my scene at all

I inhabit wide grassy knolls
Teeming with introduced
-though not so politely-
Feathered friends

Interbreeding produces most
Remarkable speckled boas
Though does not alter
The timbre of their boast

Goldfinch shearing seeds 
With perky beaks and rosy red necks
Starlings line electric wires
Waiting for passerby to poop

Welcome swallow mud built nest
Line eaves like putty pressed
No other party of fellows in plumage
Could teach to build, plow and pest!
