We're all self-taught Now that's a thought Years of getting it right .. and wrong And learning every call and song And every day there's more mistakes But worry not ... that's what it takes. Who knows how many thousand days to know the birds and all their ways it takes .... and all those miles to walk and cycle, drive and hitch and stalk to see, or not to see, "the" bird. The whole palaver's quite absurd but we do it, we love it so Till our last breath, Hey ho! Hey ho ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We haven't had a "poem" for ages and this one went through many stages and lots of hastily discarded pages and NOTHING in the way of "WAGES" ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, we don't learn the ropes totally alone ...... but about 99% of it is. So ...music time .... and totally relevant as well......
