song lyrics

Two little birds, perched high up on
A tree branch in the bright summer sun
Quietly sit together unaware
Blissfully of what's in store

On their chest both donned targets colorful
Of red and blue and white and yellow
Said the first bird to the second bird
Slowly realizing what was to occur

"I see no reason at all to leave
I enjoy your conversation and your company"
Said the second, to the first
Quite unaware of what was to occur

"With you, I wholeheartedly agree,
The perch is nice, and so are we."
So they sat and chatted of future and past
While the arrow was nocked and flew quite fast

Up to the perch, where both birds sat
On that glorious day in the summer sunlight
And, oh, quite a lot of shock did occur
When the arrow similtaneously hit both birds

But, oh, friends, they did not die
This is not a tragic story
This is merely, my own rendition
Of a love allegory
