There was a shy bird who said "Shoo,"
it wasn't a "Hoo", but a "Shoo."
Because he was shy,
and couldn't quite fly,
he would hide in the woods that he knew,
behind rocks and some trees,
one or two.
He was scared of the shadow he threw.
Which was when that his feathers turned blue.
And you knew, he would wish us adieu.
If you spot him, you'll hear "Shoo Shoo Shoo"
Shoo Shoo Shoo
Shoo Shoo Shoooo
You may never, have ever, have heard
of this timid and sneaky old bird
He is so very shy
I don't even know why
it really is simply absurd
He won't speak, if you please
Not a word
He is Sheldon the shy Shoo Shoo Bird
Not a peep, or a chirp, will be heard,
Not a cackle, or tweet, or a hoo.
Our Sheldon will only say "Shoo,"
Shoo Shoo Shoo
Shoo Shoo Shoo
Shoo Shoo Shoooo

Author Notes
Don't worry!
If you never heard of a Shoo Shoo Bird, it's because I just made it up for this poem. I created this poem from the picture. I hope you see, like I do, the image of a bird in that stump on the left of the tree trunk. It looked to me like it was peeking shyly around the trunk, as if it was trying to hide, or at least blend in. The poem will become part of my upcoming Animated Stills book.
The poem is just a Nonsense Poem for children. I tried to give a Dr. Seuss feel to it.
