The Forgotten One
This is the second part of the story of April 7, 2022. I involves another at the little feeder dishes, that, for some reason, I forgot all about!
The Forgotten One
By Mary J Williams ©
I just put out some food
In the little dishes
For the Eastern Bluebirds
That was what my wish is
In the kitchen now
The poem is done
“The Morning Song”
A story that was spun
I was worried about the Starlings
And the Sparrow too
Knowing how greedy they are
Eat everything till it’s through
I forgot about one thing
A critter that comes around
Four legs and a long tail
And is quite the clown
I looked out my kitchen window
And there standing on two feet
Hauling in the meal worms
He didn’t miss a beat
I whispered the word “Squirrel”
And Lacy sped to the door
The squirrel took off
Down the deck he tore
Lacy went running after it
But lost him on the way
I tried pointing another out
But she didn’t see it this day
The squirrel is gone for a little while
I hope the Bluebirds come in
I would really hope they get some food
Then I would feel, “I win”
I just put out some food
In the little dishes
For the Eastern Bluebirds
That was what my wish is
In the kitchen now
The poem is done
“The Morning Song”
A story that was spun
I was worried about the Starlings
And the Sparrow too
Knowing how greedy they are
Eat everything till it’s through
I forgot about one thing
A critter that comes around
Four legs and a long tail
And is quite the clown
I looked out my kitchen window
And there standing on two feet
Hauling in the meal worms
He didn’t miss a beat
I whispered the word “Squirrel”
And Lacy sped to the door
The squirrel took off
Down the deck he tore
Lacy went running after it
But lost him on the way
I tried pointing another out
But she didn’t see it this day
The squirrel is gone for a little while
I hope the Bluebirds come in
I would really hope they get some food
Then I would feel, “I win”
