#30dayswild a starling today ... Mozart had a pet starting which he kept in his yard, he taught it to sing some bars of his music, when the starling died he held a funeral for it and read this poem written for the occasion A Starling: Here lies a dear fool A little starling; in the prime Of his brief time. He must feel death’s bitter pain. My heart is riven Thinking of him. Reader, shed a tear as well. He was not bad But frisky and bright. Underneath he was a wag, No one would deny; And I would say for sure That now he is above. In his friendly way He will be praising me. Yet unaware, I’d say That he’s alive no more To thank me for this score.
