Showtime!

Got my yellow feathers on,

Practicing my walk.

Clearing out my throat again

To make the perfect squawk.

Still a little jittery,

Right behind the curtain.

Checking that my beak-flap moves,

Gotta be so certain!

Only one more scene to go

Until my big debut.

Whether I will sink or soar,

I still don’t have a clue!

Soon I’ll float above the stage,

Just flapping on my strings.

It’s so hard to be patient

When you’re waiting in the wings!
