Not ashy, I knew for red iris it lacked.
It wheezed, whistled and swooped
as, for flying insects it looked.
Swift forays from the teak branch
I tell you, he had plenty to munch.

a beakful of insects do make a good crunch.
A background of white teak flowers
followed by October showers
and then the power fails for hours
making us into pretender troubadours!
Good one..
