Out the Window
I looked out of my window
And what did I see
Three ladies with doggies
Looking at me.
5 Their faces were red
with that special blush powder
Looking like cheeks
With red springtime flowers.
The doggies were happy
10 Bark barking away
Their well-brushed fur
Shined a gleamy blue-gray
Four little birds
Came close to my window
15 One of them looked like
A blue flying pillow
The other three
Were as happy as can be
All flying to get to
20 The top of a tree
My neighbors were tapping
Tap tapping today
Their satellite dish
Got up and ran away.
25 They were fixing it, fixing it
By turns and turns
The sweat on their faces
Told me they had burns
The construction man
30 Kept the jackhammer in place
The sounds of the pounds
Could be heard up in space
The three stars I could see
Later that evening
35 Looked like three little specks
Shining down next to me
While the sun was down
In the city at night
I looked at the shadows
40 made by our street lights.
The police on their bikes
Coming by our street side
I feel very safe
I’m glad they do ride.
45 I like our apartment
So close to the sights
Outside of my window
By day and by nights.
