Princely Troubadours

Would be suitors

having migrated to your breeding pond
all the night long
you court us with your lively mating song

As we eavesdrop
on you troubadours of princely green
we marvel and wonder at the beauty
of the songs you sing for your beloved Queens

We imagine handsome green bodies
adorned with bronze and brown
holding banjos tightly
as you hop around

Your yellow throats bursting open
with hopeful songs of praise
for all eligible green ladies
with lovely long green legs

Long may you live
may your homes be filled with throngs
of charming little boys like you
who fill our nights with song.
