Little Birds are diningA
Warily and wellB
Hid in mossy cellB
Hid I say by waitersC
Gorgeous in their gaitersC
I've a Tale to tellB
-
Little Birds are feedingA
Justices with jamD
Rich in frizzled hamD
Rich I say in oystersC
Haunting shady cloistersC
That is what I amD
-
Little Birds are teachingA
Tigresses to smileE
Innocent of guileE
Smile I say not smirkleE
Mouth a semicircleE
That's the proper styleE
-
Little Birds are sleepingA
All among the pinsC
Where the loser winsC
Where I say he sneezesC
When and how he pleasesC
So the Tale beginsC
-
Little Birds are writingA
Interesting booksC
To be read by cooksC
Read I say not roastedF
Letterpress when toastedG
Loses its good looksC
-
Little Birds are playingA
Bagpipes on the shoreH
Where the tourists snoreH
Thanks they cry 'Tis thrillingA
Take oh take this shillingA
Let us have no moreH
-
Little Birds are bathingA
Crocodiles in creamI
Like a happy dreamI
Like but not so lastingA
Crocodiles when fastingA
Are not all they seemI
-
Little Birds are chokingA
Baronets with bunJ
Taught to fire a gunJ
Taught I say to splinterK
Salmon in the winterK
Merely for the funJ
-
Little Birds are hidingA
Crimes in carpet bagsC
Blessed by happy stagsC
Blessed I say though beatenJ
Since our friends are eatenJ
When the memory flagsC
-
Little Birds are tastingA
Gratitude and goldL
Pale with sudden coldL
Pale I say and wrinkledM
When the bells have tinkledM
And the Tale is toldL

Lewis Carroll
