The Naming of 

 the Birds 



The Old Bob White and the chip 

 bird, 



The flicker and the cheewink 

 And little hopty skip bird 



Along the river brink 

 The blackbird and the snow bird, 



The chicken hawk and the crane 

 The glossy old black crow bird 



And buzzard down the lane 

 The yellow bird and the red bird 



The Tom-tit and the cat 

 The thrush and that red-head bird 



The rest's all pickin' at 

 The jay-bird and the blue-bird 



The sap-suck and the wren 

 The Cockadoodledoo bird 



And our old settin' hen. 



James Whitcomb Riley.
