(with apologies to Ogden Nash or whoever wrote the poem)
This is why Jamie has two bells on his collar and a daylight curfew. He loves birds. We'd much rather he started liking rats more, but it's the first day of spring and it's finally stopped raining so we'll grant him this one day free in the garden to enjoy the sun. No birds were harmed. They're singing a lot though so they're clearly happy about this too.
