Got a letter from a thrush --
come and see me compose.
So I went.
She stuck her beak into the ink
and sputtered onto the manuscript,
then sang it.
tra la la
tweet tweet
warble warble
tweep tweep
When she finished,
I was asked for an opinion.
With a grave look, I opined --
well, it's very good.
Regular thrush music.
Good range, plenty of variety, nice timbre.
Look Cutler, said thrush
do you think it's worth making a demo disc or a tape
and going around the agents?
I think it's chart material.
Look thrush, I replied
it could only succeed as a gimmick.
Yeah I suppose, she tweeted
and flew into a stump.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, Ivor Cutler.
