Bird in a House

September 12, 2013 by Beth Shepherd

Bird in a House

Finch in the house
Bird in the house 2
Bird in the house 3
Bird in the house

 

I want to sing my own song that’s all
cried the bird and flew into a wall
there must be some way he cried
and his desperation echoed down the hall

Just another bird in a house
dying to get out
just another bird in a house
dying to get out

I want to join my own kind that’s all
cried the bird and flew into a wall
there must be some way out he cried
and his desperation echoed down the hall

just another bird in a house
dying to get out
just another bird in a house
dying to get out

I’m gonna smash my way out that’s all
cried the bird and smashed from wall to wall
there must be some way out he cried
and his desperation echoed down the hall

just another bird in a house
dying to get out
just another bird in a house
dying to get out

No birds were hurt in the creation of this post. I helped him find his way back outside, where he belongs!

Take the road less traveled, Beth

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
