Shades of Brown: To a sparrow!
Little sparrow on the fence-
So ordinary, no pretence
Of rivalling the amazing hue
Of kingfishers so brilliant blue
And no sweet song, no Arial dance
Do you deserve a second glance?
Oh yes you do! The sun revealing
Shades of colour – so appealing!
From chestnut hues to creamy white
You hop along with sheer delight!
A cheeky little garden sprite
With bars of white when you take flight!
God made you perfect in disguise
To hide in trees, and mesmerise
The cats who- it is plain to see-
Can’t equal your agility!
How perfectly your colours blend!
You sweetly flutter and ascend!
God made you fit to do your duty
But also made you brown for beauty!
