STUDENT ENTRY

Oh Little Bird, You’re a round fluffy ball

You don’t belong on my pillow, you should be off singing your little bird call

Norton you’re cute, with your little hops here and there

You’ve turned midships into your lair

Careful little Norton, where you sleep tonight

For what if Calabash were to catch a sight

Of you and your little bird size munch

For Calabash would turn you into his lunch.


On April 9th, on our way back into the states, a Brown Palm Warbler landed on The Gamage. It spent the day landing on heads, catching flies in the main salon, and taking naps in my bed. Warblers, on their migrations North, often get tired and and on shops to rest and so we met Norton.
