Want to tell you of how last weekend I heard of a great event

There was an arrival at a home to which I?d like to comment

A budgie, you see had got free from across the road and cement

In destination of freedom and safety to this home he was bent

On reaching it would maybe mean a new home and more vent

Perhaps he never thought of what the name Sheba even meant

As he flittered and fluttered without ever giving a compliment.



I wasn?t there to know if there were any screams or shouts

As his wings spanned amidst his artistic and acrobatic flights

Am sure he would wonder at his new found freedom and sights

Before it became dusk with the need for more lights

The excitement I?m sure was as great for him as the blitz

For maybe he wished he could even do the splits

Before he was captured and closed inside the slits.



The story was told me then after all the drama was ended

Of how his master has lovingly nurtured and catered

To all of his needs and others of the family also gathered

Inside wire cage inside and outside of garage altered

To be a comfortable aviary which was fully completed

With nest box and food and a resting perch supplied

To rest on when wearied from flight until each retired.



Oh, how soon all the setting changed so differently

For dear Budgie was returned to his home very kindly

He was there united with all the rest of the menagerie

As babies and all were inspected so gentle and tenderly

I hope when a few more weeks have past eventually

There may be a similar cage built at 51 more permanently

For to house one of the babies given and accepted graciously.



Now the moral of this poem and the reason it?s penned really

Is not to seek glory but am sharing some thoughts dearly

For to say how such deep love doth always glow clearly

When a true loving hand doth meet each need so gladly

We?ve all got a Keeper whose watching us lovingly and dearly

Ever guarding us safely as we tread the way more bravely

To help us travel on and finish the journey courageously.

It was a budgie that escaped and arrived at my friend's house. The owner told them, he has 3 babies and will give them one for returning the prize winning father.
