You see I'm a swallow, so beautiful, 'strue
Pure, pretty purple is my plumage
My brood's raised in a box, beautifully done
My mate minds them now,while mealworms I hunt
I will wing back with them, then my wife will hunt
My neighbors now, nattering always
And likewise chatter I, aye cheerfully
Behold! Here's the birder, bringing more mealworms
He cannot stand the skeeters, scrumptious insects
Hey! I'm home!  Hello family.
This is a poem of mine that I recently rediscovered and touched up a bit. It is done in Anglo-Saxon style alliterative verse.

*awards an internet* Awesome. Alliteration is such an under-appreciated device.
