   This one?   
      
      
      
   I woke this joyous morning,   
   Bright and starrie eyed,   
   Walked over to my window, and I threw my window wide!   
   Upon the sill had perched a bird,   
   singing with morning cheer,   
   and from the gayness of his notes,   
   I knew that spring was here.   
      
   But as he sang his joyious song,   
   he paused, a moments lull.   
   I slammed the God Damned window, and crushed his fucking skull.
