Exploring the world

happy as can be

chewing seeds in the grass

packing them in a tree

 

Eyes wide open

a bird feeder comes into sight

rushing through the field

hoping to eat all of it before night

 

Inching closer

crawling on the roof

sliding down the wall

hoping not to goof

 

Seeing no one around

time to seize the prize

inching closer

climbing the pole toward the sky

 

Seeds are wonderful

his cheeks are full

now leaving the feeder

munching on the last mouthful

 

Life is good

returning to his nest

eyes are heavy

time for a night’s rest
