1. Wonderful haiku. Just a fun story: once on a walk we encountered a mockingbird that, among his other songs, had mastered the sound of police sirens from the nearby freeway.

   • Wow! Cool! They are the state bird of Texas. I have a tattoo of them- wrote about it in my short story- Permanence.

     • We have them everywhere. The only ink I have is when I accidentally write on myself.

2. Hush, little baby, don’t say a word.
   Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird

   And if that mockingbird won’t sing,
   Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

   And if that diamond ring turns brass,
   Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass

   And if that looking glass gets broke,
   Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat

   And if that billy goat won’t pull,
   Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull

   And if that cart and bull turn over,
   Mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover

   And if that dog named Rover won’t bark
   Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

   And if that horse and cart fall down,
   You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

3. I like your take on the prompt. Very different to what I was thinking when I wrote mine. That is the joy of the challenge. Thanks for joining in.
