the cuckoo speaks to wordsworth

O noble poet! I have read
twice through your eulogy.
you mean some other bird instead..
you surely cant mean me???

such fine thoughts it must be confessed
are shared by so few others
you ought to hear the views expressed
by my dear foster brothers

(maybe some day when you are free
we could sit together for tea
hear the views expressed by my family and see
if you still opine the same about me???)

and oh puh-lease omit this "fairy" rot
i'm flesh and blood right through
or i shall wonder if you are not
a little cuckoo too!
