Do Birds Know?


Do birds know I am listening to them sing?

Do trees know I am cooling myself in their shade?

Do flowers know I am sniffing their fragrance?

Does the sun know I am warmed by its light?

Does the earth know I am on my way there?

Song: Hollywood Adaptation
[For Roald Dahl]

Whistling through his whiskers
Dashing Mr. Fox
Charms with wily whispers
Chicks who go for hipsters
Loving life’s hard knocks

Longing to fly the coop
Daunting Mrs. Fox
Decides to stir the soup
Jazzing up her croup
So cool she really rocks

Cockatoos chew blues
Mourning melancholy
Birdland breaks taboos
Both Foxes hate to lose
In bitter alimony

I should think so.
