WAKE-UP CALL
Lilacs twinkle in the morn,
The sun shines on the dew.
In a nest some birds are born,
And the old feed the new.
"Twitter, twitter!" little birds say
While calling out for food.
But since up so early in the day,
The parents are in a grumpy mood.
"Shush, hush!" say they,
Hurrying to feed
Little mouths opening the day
In their haste and greed.
"More, more!" say young,
Twittering anew,
Using noisy beak and tongue
To awaken you.
