Ode to a Magpie





Today I want to praise you, king of thieves
And offer at your feet my fancy loot
I bring you rubies sleeping in my sleeves
And sparkling diamonds hiding in my boot.

Just flickering bling-bling I enjoy to steal
Being my house an homage to your nest
Just shiny glitters for my eyes are real
And imitating you I only like the best.

I came to you so we can share the booty
I stole from children, gentlemen and maids
Break out the booze and in the name of beauty
Let me repeat what your coat of arms says:

“My squawk is the finest in nature by far:
For bandits of beauty there´re no rules of war."
