I'll preface this by saying I recently submitted a challenge to my parents to immortalize their adventures and observations as haikus, starting with their going to home games of the Marauder's baseball team in Florida. Receiving their excellent and elegantly phrased poems and having come to the end of my field season bird point counts, I thought I would attempt a reply, albeit one with awful writing and a Monty Python reference. For those with brave hearts and terrible poetic taste, read on!
Two walk a long time
Listen for the birds singing
But where are the birds?
Breeding season gone
Birds a-flocking, taking flight
Ten minute silence
Bored out of our skulls
Think of something, just anything,
Bring the coconuts!
