Eye to Eye


         Puppy & Parakeet

I'm a baby parakeet
looking for my Mom—
You're too big for her.

They call me Spotty,
a Havanese puppy—
nice meeting eye to eye.

Are you going to eat me?
Just a friendly kiss—
jump on me for a ride.

Help me find Mother Bird—
haven't seen her for days,
I'm totally lost.

Afraid can't help you much.
Sing your secret song—
so she'll fly here to you.

No sense riding any more
with you— I'm spreading
my wings to find her.

Bird trotting away—
no idea where it's going,
puppy trailing behind.

Why not stop your search—
you have found each other,
stay together as friends.
