Hawk screams, dove coos, and finch trills.
A wren chips and a pip squeaks.
Life is what you’ve heard of it,
Or been told of it, but not
What you’ve been told you should hear.
Never trust the line that goes,
We’re just here to help you, dear.
That’s not what you want to hear.
Hear it as you hear or don’t.
If you’ve heard of a weird sound
You’d like to hear, cock an ear.
Good? There. We’ll shut up now, dear.
