The highest point
in any place
is the chimney pot
its no disgrace
That observant Gulls
See a look alike
and are sold
On a sort of watch tower
really good to behold
Where dinner is coming from,
And It’s warmer
to stay
when lighting a fire the householder
,must pay
For potential nests
which must not be scarred
Don’t break the law
nesting must stay
till the chicks have been hatched
and have gone on their way
they have the Right
if you damage a nest
With your freedom you will pay
active nests I dont
jest
Protected as they
will suffer who knows
at the end of the day
will see you in jail
it Happens you pay
And end up in prison
wild birds they can play
They have the right
always you see
before lighting a fire
the nest cannot be
in situ in the chimney
the family must
Having left long before
a facto that’s just.
