On Magpie Larks

They are birds i do regularly see and do hear
And they sing every day the twelve months of the year
Familiar to many and familiar to me
The dainty black and white magpie larks the birds who sing pee wee
In the park off of the street them i often do see
They build a cup shaped nest of mud on low branch of tree
Familiar in their appearance and familiar in their song
You see and hear them once and you never again get them wrong
Of the human kind they are never that shy
They allow you to get close to them before they do fly
In every town, village, city and countryside they are loved and known
One can say of them they have a charm of their own
Known as magpie lark or mudlark or by many as pee wee
Birds familiar to many and familiar to me.
