Someone suggested writing a song about something that flies. So here's my ode to a friends' little parrot, Kelly.
Kelly Green
Sarah Robertson (lyrics, Feb 14 2022)
Against a backdrop of blue
Little parrot, kelly green
How far away yet close you seem
Sing your joyful song
Free outside a gilded cage
Keep your distance now
If you can, keep flying. Dance your dance
Life is full of chance
Perhaps we'll meet again my friend
On a sweet and sunny day
When I might hear your serenade
Little parrot, kelly green
And in a dream I'll watch you sway
In the warm breeze, in a playful way
Like long ago when feathers gleamed
Little parrot, kelly green
Against a backdrop of blue
Little parrot, kelly green
How far away yet close you seem
Sing your joyful song
