This is the Bird who sits on top of the pole
To hide from the cat
Who climbs up and down trees
In the garden below
This is the cat who tries to sit near the Bird
In this nice sunny place
At the top of the pole because Bird can prophecy weather
This is the Bird who
ONLY sits on the pole
When the sun makes a promise to shine.
But Bird is likely to make a very fast move
When the door of Jack’s house
Opens up
Very fast
To a flying bucket of water
Bird calls it a change in the weather

We had a wood pigeon we could tell the weather by. Every time he sat on our roof ridge it told us it was going to rain. Sat there every day from November til the end of February. Got it right every day!
