The Jail-Bird

Author: Carolyn Wells [More Titles by Wells]

This is a Jail-bird. Isn't it a shame
To keep him in a cage and try to tame
His wild desires for freedom? See him droop
Behind his bars. He wants to fly the coop.
But to beguile his tedious, lonely hours
Kind ladies bring him nosegays of bright flowers.

[The end]
Carolyn Wells's poem: Jail-Bird
