Night and Day

Twice as many nightingales
Prefer to live diurnally
For which the dayingales will be
Cruelly mocked eternally.

They’ll never fly beneath the moon
And play a daring game
Of dodging harsh nocturnal cats.
They’ll never be Florence’s last name.

But beyond the disadvantages
Of living in the light
They don’t have to get up early
And they still get worms alright.
