Birds, Squirrel, Chipmunk and the Chicken From Next Door
A Variety Act
A lot like the Gong Show
Each doing their own thing
All wanting the same food
The bird feeder I fill and hang
Each trying to get it before the other
Nobody fighting for it
The birds fly in and peck away
When the squirrel comes running across the lawn
Off they go
The squirrel climbing up on top of the railing
Leaping down on to the bird feeder
Then comes a Chipmunk racing across our deck
Under a bush you can see a chicken
Digging away and zig zagging back and forth
Slowly walking in this direction
An animal act different than any other
Each focused on food
Instinctively they all know there is enough to go around
One animal taking time to eat
Then the birds come back when all is quiet
To bad we as people can't learn from the birds and the animals
We are suppose to be more intelligent
Sometimes I just don't know
Every day I see how nature graciously reminds us
There is another way that works
All we have to do is be willing and able
Then reality could be so much different
Than what we see on the news and through out the world
I view I would proudly could call my home
