I'm Building A Bird

Okay, this altered book hobby is very addictive and fun. This is my first entry in 'Other Book'. Oddly enough, the first entry is not about a cat but a bird. I would love to take credit for "I'm Building a Bird" but it is not an original idea but rather the title of a song by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. In true Taupin form, the lyrics demand attention. Sometimes Bernie writes in a collocational way to emphasize the beautiful way words fit together without any meaning almost creating a type of music in and of themselves. However, I do think there is substantial meaning to this lyric. Elton does not sing this song but when I do hear it done by someone else, I always stop to think about the words. I think it is about making something nice out of something unfortunate. At least, that is what I would do if I was building a bird.
