To You
To the birds of a feather;
To the hoarse crow
And to the crow´s feet;
To the buzzard meat;
To the early bird;
To the rare bird;
To the bird in the hand and
To the bird in the bush;
To the worms in blood
And to the squiggle in the mud
To the night owl and
To the wise owl;
To the bat out of hell
And to the bat spell.
To the cat out of the bag and
to the cat that got your tongue;
To all the sparrows that passed unsung;
To the prickly hedgehog;
To the sonic hedgehog;
To the bumblebee that
flies anyway…
To the pink spider and
to the spider that can´t make a deal with a fly;
To the church mouse;
To the dust mouse;
To the Mouse on the Moon and
to the Mouse Who Ate the Moon.
To the Yellow Necked Mouse,
from the ground floor apartment house,
to her spouse, in the dollhouse and to her
sucking louse;
To the woman in the house and
to the man in the house.
To every child
And to the children who like scouse,
To every Finn and
every Lynn.
To you, Erwin with
a round chin.
