House Hunters 

By Unknown 

Birds will be house hunting 

Soon – think of that! 

Crows in the elm-tops 

And larks on the flat, 

Owls in the belfry 

And wren in the leaves, 

And swifts will go house hunting 

Under the leaves 

Moorhen will hunt for her 

Home in the reeds, 

Chaffinch the apple head 

Bough ere she breeds. 

Thrush in the hollow oak, 

Sparrow won’t care – 

Here, there and everywhere, 

Any old where! 

Cuckoo won’t trouble 

She’ll just stop and call 

But starling and nightingale 

Blackbird and all, 

Jaws as they chatter, 

And doves as they croon 

Soon will be house hunting 

Think of it soon!
