Bird on a Wire by Karl Meier

At the zoo, all joy and fun, mama
Mama can I feed the seals, please please
Please. But there’s only one fish and two seals
Mama why did you hit me I only bit the
Fish in half so I could feed them both.
The house is so lonely these days,
I wish I could leave it but I can’t,
Too scared, too shaky, wife and family
All gone, I really hate being alone
Sitting in the hospital room drinking
Water out of one of those cheap plastic
Pitchers. My best friends gone, I’ll miss
You dad, well at least I won’t have to
Sit here anymore.
Here I sit on the park bench, I wonder
Where all the time has gone. Check out all
The birds on the telephone line, Its so
Weird bird, bird, bird – space bird, bird
Space, space, bird, bird space, and so it
Goes all the way down the line
I sure wish someone wouldn’t have
Shot all those missing birds
