General Swallow few with Peggy
and Billy Belgium at the head Of the
long string of Birds that Joined in
the pursuit of Blue Jay and his gang
He set pace that soon left the slower
Birds stringing along far behind.

by the way things looked from the

the tree came the strident voice Of
Blue Jay.

find us here, and i'm the morning Miss
Purple Swallow will be Mrs. Blue Jay
instead of Mrs. Swallow"
