This Birds Shoes

You’ll never get through my door
With your one hundred dollar smiles,
Until you know the scenery,
And I detect your style.
You’ll be dancing on the ground,
Merely stealing a kiss or two,
Till I know your manners,
What makes you come unglued.
What you’re like when you’re angry,
What you look like when you’re glad,
What in life makes you happiest,
How never to make you mad.
What will make your eyes twinkle,
What turns your face beet red,
Will it be something that I’ve done,
Or something silly that I’ve said?
You think you have a wild woman here,
Hmm, maybe, here’s a clue,
You’re never going to find out,
Till you can walk in this Bird’s shoes.
