A Pretty Bird
A pretty bird flew around me today,
It looked at me, as though it had something to say.
I watched it as it fluttered round about,
Working very hard, trying to pull a worm out.
I guess, it was to be his mid-day lunch,
I bit into my apple, crunch, crunch, crunch.
A squirrle came down from a nearby tree,
I took a look at him; he took a look at me.
He dug down until he found a ripe nut,
That he had buried in a little earthy rut.
I guess it was to be his mid-day lunch,
I chewed potato chips, crunch, crunch, crunch.
A fellow walked by, tall, and lean, and lank,
He sat down beside me on the old, park bench plank.
He smiled down at me, and gave me a wink,
With a knowing look that almost made my heart sink.
I guess I was to be his mid-day lunch,
I hit him with my bag, crunch, crunch, crunch.
