Word List -- The Birds Came -

    The day the blackbirds came 

I was sitting on my porch that day 

That horrible day the blackbirds came 

Hundreds of nasty birds came to light 

                                In our back yard 

They scared all other creatures away 

Porcupines and rabbits were the first 

Even I ran in the house from them 

Though they purported to scratch for worms 

                                Worms and bugs 

In reality they'd come to raise cane 

Every three steps they pooped nasty stuff 

Practiced diving with unwilling Cat 

What to do what to do-called the cops 

                                Came and left 

Put on my boots and gown, water down 

Scare the birds away 

                                Their smell remains
