lucky, the silent bird

I know this bird.
Yesterday, in a boring meeting,
I drew her myself.
Then,
I wrote beneath the picture:
"Lucky, the silent bird!"

Amazing!
Today,
I see her sitting on our neighbor's rooftop,

and quietly looking at me.
She looks funny without her tail,
for I was drawing her tail,
when I was interrupted with a question.
Then
the meeting adjourned and I  
completely forgot about

                       the lucky bird.
