Lulu at Home
My pet cockatiel whose name is Lulu;
She is, in my opinion, the best bird.
Sometimes she can be extremely cuckoo
And also can definitely be heard.
It is unfortunate that she can’t fly;
She must wonder why she even has wings.
Seeing the other birds touching the sky,
But all she can do is sit there and sing.
I would be delighted if she could speak.
When she is poked she must be filled with rage.
Her lips, as sharp as razors, are her beak.
All day long she might be bored in her cage;
And yet, she is still happily sitting
In her home which is perfectly fitting.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
