Tweets About Treats
Said the sparrow to the robin
"Here they come again"
"Yes, they're bringing food"
Chirped up the tiny wren.
"Do they think we're starving?"
Asked a noisy thrush,
"I am, so be quiet"
Said the bluebird from a bush.
"Are they bringing peanuts"
Said the starling to the jay,
Who greedily was hoping
That some would come his way.
The owl, he was watching
But he was not impressed,
By the time that he was hungry
They'd be sleeping in their nests.
So they all just watched
As the humans brought the treats,
Who never understood...
All they heard were tweets.
