Early Birds

Oh, do be quiet, I utter,
As I listen to their song,
It surely can't be morning,
They must have got it wrong.
It doesn't seem five minutes,
Since I lay down to sleep,
Now these early birds a -worming',
Rouse me with their noisy cheep.
Then when I'm fully wakened,
With my senses all in place,
I than God for the pleasure,
Of this early morning grace.

A Good Return

I felt like spending money,
Not a lot you know,
A little treat that would be nice,
Where should my money go?
Splash out on a smart new dress,
Or tickets for a show?
I decided on some flower seeds---
Now I'll watch my money grow!
