FREE FROM THE CAGE, AT LAST
Peabody, Peabody
Little blue birdy body
Sang your song
All day long
Thirty years ago today
your heart seized up, you flew away
And John A. told me, quietly…
“Don’t cry, Binky, she’s free, she’s free!”
You’re free, little bird
birdy yum yum, yum yum
Yum yum, Yum yum tweet!
30 years ago today
You left me here to contemplate
Your voice, your wings, and a little heart
that no longer beats like a drum rolling marching band.
Goodbye, ol’ chum, goodbye
You’re free
Until we meet again in heaven,
