Puddlin'

dip, dip
shake, shake
shimmer, shimmer,
quake, quake

finches in a puddle
clear up to their muddle
making quite a huddle
bathing for the day

wiggle, wiggle
squiggle, squiggle
oh my, their bodies jiggle
as they bathe away

lap up sun
till they’re done
oh, what fun!
won’t you come
to see them all at play?

delightfully they dance
as fairies in a trance
Arabians in prance
they set my heart asway.

they start the morn so early
when grouchy men are surly
with jiggles in their hips
and giggles on their lips
they begin this summer day

they’re setting an example
their energies are ample
they’re giving me a sample
of life that’s truly gay
no I don’t mean it quite that way

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
