Reflections of a Red-whiskered Bulbul

My mate and I came together Thinking we have a peaceful life ahead; But little did we know we were in trouble.

We bulit a nest on a window, sturdy and strong Well protected from other birds and storms; Alas! the place was wrong.

One day a boy saw it, called his mother and sister Soon came the grandmother; And they kept poking their noses all day long.

Soon the chicks were born; Two beautiful baby birds But with the nosy family around what shall we do?

One morning the curtain fell down And we were exposed to the whole lot; No privacy, not even a bit.

Now I sit here on this stormy night, Thinking about our life choices; Were they wrong or right!
