Dawn auditions
Quoth the starling, “I’m a meadowlark.”
(translation: “do-DEE-do-bee-doo-doo!”)
Quoth the redwing, “BadeeBIT!”
(translation: “Bullshit!”)
Quoth the Brewer’s: “TWIT!”
(no translation really needed.)
Robins gurgle; doves too sleepy to coo; warblers done for the
moment; owls shut up for the night.
“Twit! Twit!”
What the sleeper says: “Shaddup! Shaddup!”
