Mistaken Identity
Prunella Modularis
Prunella Modularis
likes to hug and kiss,
he flits from nest to nest
and tickles every miss,
although he sports
a plain brown smock,
he doth whisper, sweet pillow talk,
so look beneath the Hollyhocks,
or there amongst the Rhubarb stalks,
that little bird, firing Cupid's arrows
he is a Dunnock,
and not a Sparrow!

A London Rose
A London Rose
A London rose will bloom today
just like tomorrow and yesterday,
down alleyway, in city park
in broad daylight and deepest dark,
on a lonely city street
where youth and anger rush to meet,
the rain will fall and storm will blow
and from concrete a rose will grow,
the rose in London grows all year long
such pretty flowers, but deadly thorns,
life is short on a London street
where the roses grow and mothers weep.

the rose in London grows all year long
such pretty flowers, but deadly thorns,
life is short on a London street
where the roses grow and mothers weep.
