A man's interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

Don’t you know?
I’m a one trick pony
My master leads me around
Takes me out and shows me
Watch me do my trick
Then stay fixated
Then leave me in the barn
Feeling useless and degraded
But this pony
Will make an escape
These gates are wooden
And it’s never too late
For this old pony
To learn a new trick
And people will go wow
This is going to be sick
