Love birds

 

they’re called. That’s

not strange at all

because if they fall

for each other they would,

if they could, go to

the church and get married:

They would!

 

But these little parrots

don’t need any

such thing to be happy.

A house nor a bed;

even a table and chairs

aren’t necessary

for them to feel well.

 

A perch is all they need

to sit on all day and cuddle.
