Sweet Bird of Paradise Is this a Bird of Paradise That tries to please my eyes Flaunting rainbow parasol To tease and mesmerize He spreads his feathers gallantly For all the stars to see His gaudy plumage on display Is meant to capture me Showing feather, flaunting charm Quivering his quills Prancing round my heart again With his flamboyant frills Please blanket me within your plumes Show your colors true All the opalescent greens Golden browns and blues Come, sweet Bird of Paradise And let me rapture you Elizabeth Santos |

Flawless as usual! Just be sure that bird of paradise isn't carrying a bottle of Old Crow  |
