Two Birds: A Dialogue (To the Tune 'The Charm of Niannu')
After Su Dongpo and Mao Zedong
Br’er Sun sits high,
And sev’ral hundred birds flitting nigh
Can see all happ’nings below——
One went to talk with Crow
With regards to
The construction:
“It’s so boring here
With all this noise!
And dont you find it queer
That it lacks all purpose?”
“But what do you mean?”
Mr. Crow asked.
“There’s nothing on the surface——
Time passed here is worthless!”
“Your dreams aflush
With urban lust——”
(Bird then fixed his mask),
“You’ll not find then
What isn’t present near.”
