THE JAUNTY JAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: On my window-sill flirted a jaunty jay
Last Line: Said the jubilant, jolly, and jaunty jay.
Subject(s): Jays


On my window-sill flirted a jaunty jay;
He chattered awhile, then he flew away.
He chattered awhile, as if to say:
"Don't you wish you could live in the day, -- in the day?
Don't you wish you were little enough to be gay?
Fly away! Fly away!"
Said the jubilant, jolly, and jaunty jay.
