A Busy Bird

A bucket hung from my old shed And there a robin made his bed, I watched him carry mud and straw And twigs he picked up from the floor, He only stopped to peck some seed He was a busy bird indeed, And when he'd done he sang out loud Perched on his bucket, looking proud.

Perfectly imaged, Gary. Can just picture this proud bird (even w/out the picture!). Happy 2020, Gershon
