SUMMER CELEBRATION SIGHT

SUMMER CELEBRATION SIGHT

Oh, look
A feast is on!
The beautiful birds
Are having 
In a vast blue
Bowl,
Vanilla scoops
Of ice cream...l

It is a party
The king of all
Parties
To celebrate 
The Summer 
Season!

I can see the 
Vanilla scoops
Mingled with blackcurrant 
Ice cream !

Oh, how they 
Enjoy
My feathery friends 
With envious eyes
I look on...

It is not
That I want their
Share
Of creamy coldness...
For should I eat
A spoon
Break wind I shall
And it will not be
A pleasant smell!

Come along then
Summer star
Shine warm and
Bright...

Thus melting away
The birds' celebratory
Delight...

No  longer
Will I then be
Indulging in jealousy...!
