An Unfinished Symphony Sort-of-Poem
one pigeon in the kitchen,
two magpies on the roof
three mudhens
and a wren plus
four dogs are barking WOOF,
five crows with shiny trinkets,
six boys making too much noise,
seven girls in pearls and curls
dancing to a dog
and hare’s duet,
eight lazing cats are waiting,
nine mice to
(excuse me – the postman is at the door…)
