On The Blackbird

When the blackbird's melodious voice you hear
You know it's Springtime of the year
For only in Summer and all through Spring
The gold bill bird is known to sing
The Aussies who say he is not an Aussie his ancestors were brought from a foreign land
Their reasoning i struggle for to understand
Like to the Roman home is Rome
To the Aussie born blackbird Australia's home
And though some with that may not agree
That is how it does seem to me
Territorial birds like the blackbird not to Country but to place belong
And their bond to territory is strong
And the only reason they do sing
Is to defend their nesting borders in the Spring.
