00:00:02.430 --> 00:00:06.120 align:middle line:84%
And one more sonnet,
and then a woodpecker

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.060 align:middle line:90%
poem, and then we go home.

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:10.527 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:10.527 --> 00:00:26.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:26.180 --> 00:00:28.890 align:middle line:90%
"Mistakes."

00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:34.190 align:middle line:84%
Can a heart equal the
mistakes it makes?

00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:37.490 align:middle line:84%
We hung the cage
outside, seated the rail

00:00:37.490 --> 00:00:40.370 align:middle line:84%
so the vines filled with finches
and our parakeet would not

00:00:40.370 --> 00:00:43.670 align:middle line:84%
be lonely, then we
got busy, failed

00:00:43.670 --> 00:00:45.740 align:middle line:90%
to hear the thicket quiet.

00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:48.920 align:middle line:84%
Next my husband
screaming, snake, love.

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:49.700 align:middle line:90%
Snake!

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:50.450 align:middle line:90%
Snake!

00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:53.330 align:middle line:84%
An enormous king snake
suffocated the birds

00:00:53.330 --> 00:00:56.360 align:middle line:90%
and curled in the cage.

00:00:56.360 --> 00:00:59.620 align:middle line:84%
Take it away, we told
the Humane Society.

00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:01.270 align:middle line:90%
But it's a good snake.

00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:02.710 align:middle line:90%
We couldn't bear it.

00:01:02.710 --> 00:01:04.030 align:middle line:90%
Take it away.

00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:05.349 align:middle line:90%
And they did.

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:08.620 align:middle line:84%
And the next morning,
asleep on the empty porch

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:11.280 align:middle line:90%
railing, his mate.

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.000 align:middle line:90%
