MOVING SOUTH

Gather your things we are moving south 
Was about to object but closed his mouth 
Everyone else was moving with us too 
In winter time it was the natural thing to do 

The summer he spent in the east he enjoyed 
Moving south now he really couldn't avoid 
Had no time to think about the north or west
South he was told would be for the best 

Things all gathered he was now ready to leave
Wouldn't be any chance of a late reprieve 
Time to go he will just take off and fly away 
Seeing the east again one bright summer's day
