THE CUCKOO'S CHARACTER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE CUCKOO'S A FINE BIRD
Last Line: THE SUMMER IS NEAR
Subject(s): BIRDS;CUCKOOS;

THE Cuckoo's a fine bird,
He sings as he flies;
He brings us good tidings,
He tells us no lies.

He sucks little birds' eggs,
To make his voice clear;
And when he sings "Cuckoo!"
The summer is near.
