My Little Jay

Silly, yes, but based on a true story. Well, maybe a small part is true.

Outside my window, on a sunny day,
He sat there singing, a pretty blue jay.

I told him he was beautiful, I told him he was nice.
He smiled at me and nodded, and asked me for some ice.

He wanted it for rum and coke, his favorite drink, you see.
And it was just so awful hot, sitting in a tree.

I gave him ice, he had his drink, then laughed and flew away.
You never know just what you'll see on a hot and sunny day.
