PEOPLE BUY A LOT OF THINGS, by                    
Last Line: And then I'd open wide the cage, and set the singer free
Subject(s): Birds; Freedom


PEOPLE buy a lot of things-
Carts and balls and nails and rings,
But I would buy a bird that sings.
I would buy a bird that sings and let it sing for me,
And let it sing of flying things and mating in a tree.
And then I'd open wide the cage, and set the singer free.
