Mocking Bird

I awoke early this morning.  I'm not truly a "morning" person.  I don't jump out of bed eager to attack the day.
I actually like waking up and hearing the birds singing in the still quiet air.  Then I like to roll over and go back to sleep!
The mocking bird is one of my favorite birds.  His song is cheerful and happy; seems very positive to me.  He mixes his song up here and there.  You'll hear him tweet out a few calls and then switch to another tune. 
This bird reminds me of myself.  I like diversity.  I like some consistency.  I would love to be known as always happy and cheerful! 
Funny how my nickname when I was a kid was Bird, a shortened version of my last name.
I wonder if Bono has a mocking bird singing in his back yard.  Maybe, along with the some other inspirations, Mr. Mocking Bird influenced Bono's subconscious to write the song 40.  " I will sing, sing a new song."
