清晨，在鳳凰谷鳥園
頂著不很烈的太陽
大家興沖沖地
緊跟著解說員
聽他解說各種鳥的習性
惟恐有所疏漏……

到達鸚鵡區
他似乎特別起勁
說鸚鵡會學人講話
說得口沫橫飛
並當場做示範
讓鸚鵡復述他的話
鸚鵡照演不誤

聯想起那年
在南部一家鳥店
同樣的劇情
店員讓一隻隻八哥上演
突然有一隻沒跟他學舌
演出超乎劇本，說：
「再怎麼好住好吃
都不如飛出籠外。」
一下氣氛全然改變
鳥的天堂一定是在籠外！

Soar Free From the birdcage      Hsu ChiCheng

This is the dawn, in the Fonghuanggu Bird Park
Carries the warm sun
We all are excited
Follows the explainer closely
To listen his explanation of the habits and characteristics of every kind of the bird
For fear that there were omitted through negligence to listen…

When arrived the district of parrot
He seems special sturdy
He says that the parrot can follow the words of the humankind
He explains exaggerating
And sets an example
Let the parrot retells his words
The parrot demonstrate according to him no mistake

I associate that year
In a bird shop in the south
The same story of a play
The clerk made the parrot to display one by one
One of them suddenly didn’t follow him
Play exceeded the drama, and said:
“It’s no better than to soar free from the birdcage
Instead of good live and fine feed.”
The air all change immediately
The heaven of the bird is outside the birdcage!
