THE BIRD FACTOR

Jack the Crow did gangster rapping,

up high in his oak tree,

Chantal the Gull sung power ballads,

at the seaside, on the quay

Peter Sparrow tweeted,

in places far and wide,

just where the fancy took him,

with no bird at his side

Then an impresario,

had a good idea,

let’s have a singing contest,

for the birds that all live here

Seduced by fame and fortune,

and some celebrity,

many birds did enter,

this singing fest for free

The Woodpecker was supported,

by her very small Blue Tits,

a Blackbird and a Jenny Wren,

Both sung some Beatles hits

Each week the birds all voted off,

the ones they didn’t like,

first gone was a Wood Pigeon,

“Get off son, on your bike”

The next loser was a Budgie,

followed by a Jay,

things were hotting up now,

Birds of Britain had their say

Then the grand finale,
