The bird that spoke that first perfect note
was a revelation to its kin
because she could sing so beautifully
the other birds decided to join in

some of the birds variations heard
they felt they could do better
so they sang with melodies that made 
the landscape ring
and to each note
gave a letter

a chorus formed of singing birds 
who organised their songs
into works of art 
many species took part 
and for the choir
others came along

a feud broke out all about 
which birds sang best of the rest
unresolved each species kept 
their songs close to their chest
and so today when you hear each 
sing their special tweet 
be mindful that this is why
only one song can each species 
ever repeat
