An Avian Delight

From my kitchen window I can pass a pleasant while. Callers to my bird table They always make me smile. Crowds of busy sparrows Make an early morning call. Then appears the robin, He likes to boss them all. Raucous squabbling starlings, Noisy, loud and rude. A riot on the wing, Fighting anyone for food. Then come the ****, The great, the coal the blue And some days, a nice surprise A bullfinch passes through. Then arrive the goldfinches The prettiest of them all. Painted little charmers, All dressed up for a ball. So there I stand With my morning cup of tea, As an avian delight Plays out in front of me.
