One bird with a grim fate
Stripped of his wings
And sings on command
Tweet Tweet Twitter Tweet

Two birds with a tragic gait
Robbed of their beautiful feathers
Leaving them to freeze
Tweet Tweet Twitter Tweet

Three birds of similar mind
Trying to scream for their freedom
Yet only the same song is heard
Tweet Tweet Twitter Tweet

Four birds of like kind
Never to escape
This music box of captivity
Tweet Tweet Twitter Tweet
