The old saying being

A bird in the hand is

worth two in the bush.

As I am a bird I would argue

And seek to educate you.

The one bird in the hand is

Headed for the pot.

We birds are not really birdbrains.

We know our fate.

I would argue that bird gives

Short pleasure and is gone,

A quick bite, and hardy fulfilling.

But those two in the bush?

They give you songs

In evening and at dawn.

They lift your spirits

And have you searching the skies.

Their flight and feathers unmatched.

So I would teach you

In my erudite birdy way,

Two birds in a bush

Will always trump one in hand

Who was headed for the pot.
