A blessing will come by a co-worker named Singh.
It’s a baby parakeet with small angel wings.
Bugsy will be the seventh which is special indeed.
We will feed this baby with lots of millet seeds.
We have parakeets from the past and the present.
We are expecting him as a blessed event.
The first blessing was Jojo the light green parakeet.
He lived thirteen years and will be recalled as sweet.
The most cherished blessings that I would come to know
are the small packages that came on their own.
Persimmon was the first one and TC came next.
Bugsy will be the third bird and of an unknown sex.
Persimmon, or Percy, climbed to Jojo’s old cage.
Both bio-units found him on the persimmon tree.
He fine feathers were colored a dark olive green.
He turned out to be a miniature love machine.
He perched on a lamp like a proud little rooster.
His unknown age was like a rocket booster.
He was very smart and flew at high speed.
His back was turned in anger and he wouldn’t heed.
BratBoy found TC on a work lot one day.
Her voice sounded tiny from her being a stray.
Persimmon fell in love with this small stray bird.
They made their nest together and four chicks were heard.
Fat Budgie was his first love but not really Chin-Chin.
Both became jealous and treated each other mean.
Persimmon left by that fruit tree and from his caged cell.
Chin-Chin flew sadly but we humans couldn’t tell.
TC and Fat Budgie still call out Percy’s name.
I do hope this new Bugsy bird would be the same.
The four other siblings are only two years old.
I cannot wait to see on what would soon unfold.
