Happy starlings

Ten out of ten for blackbirds,
Ten out of ten for wrens,
Ten out of ten for starlings,
Ten out of ten for hens.

Ten out of ten for sparrows,
Ten out of ten for rooks,
Ten out of ten for chaffinches,
Ten out of ten for ducks.

Ten out of ten for feathers,
Ten out of ten for beaks,
Ten out ten for birds who sing
For hours and days and weeks.
