To be sung to the tune ' Bye Bye Blackbird'
Here I am alone again
Running scared
In deep despair
Bye Bye Blackbird
No-one is awaiting me
No-one cares
No-one shares
Bye Bye Blackbird
No-one here can love or understand me
Have few friends and grief is all they hand me
Have no home have no life
All I know is hurt and strife
Black Bird Bye Bye
If you'll have me
I declare
to care for you
and comb your hair
Bye Bye Blackbird
I will sing
write poems for you
open champagne
cook ragout
Bye Bye Blackbird
I will be your friend and make your dreams come true
Pare your corns and massage you with cologne and perfume
Go on be a brave boy then
Take a chance with a sad plump wren
Black Bird Bye Bye
Hi Rall,
ReplyDelete"sad plump wren" ? Not a chance!!
Enjoyed trilling along with this. You're a clever one!
It's not me.It's the sad little blackbird.Although I'm a little blue that RWP is closing down after April.

ReplyDeleteRall,
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with this pic! the last stanza is humorous especially the "pare your corns"(huh?)lol. I too am sad about RWP. Let's keep in touch.

What is it that makes those blackbirds end up having to try out a sad plump wren? What is it? This is clever, coy and comical. Love it!

ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to come up with the most imaginative poem!
ReplyDeleteI came by for the second prompt of RWP, but I like the mood and the repetition in this one. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard this song, but I like what you did with the prompt. Agreed with Derrick: I don't think you're a sad plump wren either.
