Double Entendre for Friend Legion

Tetrameter sonnet

Double entendre?

Clear crisp notes on the morning air.
The blackbirds joyous melody,
which he sings loudly to declare.
This is my home territory.
To human ears a liquid trill,
to other birds a warning; clear.
I will not hesitate to kill
intruders who dare venture here.
This is my domain, mine alone
and I will guard it jealously.
So heed my warning and be gone
I wield supreme authority.
A pretty song. A warning note
which issues from the blackbirds throat.

LOL for once I am speechless but as always it has been an honor to read your words sir :)

For me? I like it. The blackbird and I often have words. :) Kudos and a proverbial tip of the hat to you (or a shake of the curly-q tail if you prefer). lol Well written. Going in favorites.

This is really a refreshing read. I like the extended metaphor, which can apply to many things in life that have double meanings.
