like a bird
in your hand
.
sipping brandy
or wine
.
held aloft
from the land
.
on a dandy
back nine
.
two birds
in a bush
.
of a similar
genus
.
a pull
and a push
.
un~familiar
penis
.
like a bird
in your nest
.
from a nastier
time
.
held aghast
with the rest
.
on a dandy
back nine
.
a bird
in a bush
.
of a similar
mind
.
lulled
into mush
.
un~familial
find
.
like a bird
in your heart
.
like a partner
of mine
.
trade an ox
for a cart
.
on a dandy
back nine
.
two birds
in a bush
.
with dis~similar
names
.
a fall
and a rush
.
of familiar
flames
.
like a bird
in your soul
.
gets a sprinkling
of lime
.
sinking through
every hole
.
on a dandy
back nine
.
a bird
in a bush
.
of a singular
bent
.
a giggle~n
a gush
.
un~familiarly
spent
.
like a bird
in your life
.
through the passing
of time
.
held aloft
from all strife
.
on a dandy
back nine
.
two birds
in a bush
.
right a singular
wrong
.
the pull
and the push
.
of a ting~lier
song
.
like a bird
on your finger
.
like a randier
rhyme
.
held aloft there
to linger
.
on a dandy
back nine
.
