the bird that forgot its song

the saddest thing i have ever heard

is about the rarest the rarest bird

that has forgotten how to sing its bong

how to sing its ~ dong

how to sing its ~ gong

how to sing its long

demise of all that the world meant to me

that things are not as they were meant to be

that the birds no longer sing to mate

i really do think that it is all too late

for a poet who has forgotten how to write
