'God respects me when I work, but He loves me when I sing...'

-Tragore

There is a bird apon my sill that won't stop singing

I cover my ears in vain to shut him out

He, all the more wiser, sings all the more loudly through the pane

So I leave my empty house of sighs and venture forth into the sun
All of my precious work undone...

When I sing, God throws a bolt of lightning.

I put bread, nuts on my sill, to attract the little fellers.



Ed talks to the birds.

It's an old Sparrow proverb, but he keeps it his untold secret, so don't tell anyone.

Chinese Proverb:

A Bird Does Not Sing Because It Has An Answer,
It Sings - Because It Has a Song.
