In my backyard are songbirds aplenty I feed them raisins; And sweet berries but they like worms better with spiders to crunch; But cold winter brings out murders for today, a songbird killed a fat mouse way too big to carry home! __________________________ November 11, 2019 Poetry/Light Verse/A Songbird's Diet Copyright Protected, ID 19-1197-545-02 All rights Reserved.

Mark, I see nature everywhere around my home, my dad taught me to see with eyes that speak, I love that image too, you can see birdie thinking, now that I killed it how to heck do I get it home !
