LITTLE BLUEBIRD
I’ve lost my little bluebird! Lost him in the rain! And Nanna says I’m naughty And he’ll not be found again . . . I don’t think Nanna’s very kind! I am so fond of him! I only put him down the drain To see if he could swim! I’ve lost my little bluebird! Lost him in the rain! I hope he is’nt catching cold And suffering drefful pain; I’m almost hating Nanna, ’Cos she’s sure he won’t be found; “And it will serve you right,” she says “If he is really drowned!” I’ve found my little bluebird! Found him in the rain! He only swam a teeny way, Then floated back again; But his feathers aren’t so pretty As they used to be before! I’ll never drop him down the drain, — Not ever any more! —Daffy Dill.
