Tweet, bloody tweet
From three am.

They're at it yet-
Beneath three pillows
Yet I hear
Tweet bloody tweet.
Eyes like peeholes
In the snow.
Window open
'BUGGER OFF!'
Alarm cries--
It's that nut again!
Tweet, bloody tweet,
"Morning Miss Smith,

Tweet, bloody tweet.
They're back again.
Tried a raptor once
A stuffed owl.
Stuck it on the fence a bit
Did it scare them?
Did it hell,

Tweet, bloody tweet.

Broom handle
Attacks ankle.

Head butt the old dear
Who screams!
Blue lights
Sirens
Strong arms
Truncheon!
Why you do it,
"Great Tits" say I
Dazed...
Pervert!!
Six months says the judge.
You'll like your cell
It faces East,
Lovely for the birds!
It's three am.
Tweet, bloody tweet.
