Flipping The Bird

You flipped this bird right off his perch
I’m hanging on by twig of birch
I’ve always done just what you asked
I mimicked you with every task

And now you leave me hanging here
I ask you why ~ I want to hear
Could it be something that I said
What was the reason that you fled

I only spoke the words you taught
And echoed back your every thought
I was your puppet on a stage
Ventriloquist’s dummy in wired cage

So, come back, dear ~ don’t fly the coop
You’ve really thrown me for a loop
What’s that you say ~ you went for seed
I should not worry ~ there’s no need

I thank my lucky stars you’re back
While in your care, I nothing lack
You are the wind beneath my wings
You are the tune my bird brain sings

You’ve flown into my little heart
I knew I loved you from the start
So, read my beak ~ I’ll tell you true
The bird you flipped has flipped for you
