Analysis of How I like to be a bird!



Oh! how I like to be a bird,
It has no cares or worries,
It has the freedom to move around at its will,
It can stop and fly when it wants,
It  can fly around places it loves,
It can perch on the branch of a tree,
And go on perching,
It can run after its mates,
Fondle them and caress them,
Making sweet noises and screams,
It can join a large number of its kind,
And fly long distances,
From one part of the globe to another,
It is a life of everlasting joy!!!.
