Lucky The Noisy Miner..


This is sad but it is true
Its about a bird I once knew
I named it Lucky and you will see
What a beginning it had up in that tree
Three eggs were hatched one windy night
As I discovered in the morning light



O what a joy it was to see

These three little chicks up in the tree

Bald as a badger with great big eyes

Where one day they would hit the skies

Gale force winds the very next day

Bought tears of sadness in every way

To find one Chickie on the ground

And that little nest been turned around




My building skills were not the best

When trying to fix this little nest

All I could do was tie it down

Hoping they would be safe and sound

Another shock the next day bought

And a terrible lesson I was taught




With help the nest was wired to the tree

And thankfully did not come free

With one little chick left in the nest

We enjoyed watching it at rest

Then out of its nest one day to see

It sitting on the branch of the tree

Somewhere out there that little bird lives

Lucky its name and Lucky it is..






Goodbye Lucky
