Avian Request

A chickadee flew up to me And chirped out a request - Please fill the backyard feeder ‘Fore I head back to my nest. I had indeed put out some feed But clearly not enough, So other birds had polished off The nuts and fruits and stuff. I would have bet I’d never get A message that’s been tweeted, But I complied, for even birds Get angry feeling cheated.

Ditto what Maurice said, Ilene, and if anyone should have a Twitter account, I think a chickadee should.

Delighful write, Ilene, and I take some consolation that we humans are not the only creatures who make demands. / Maurice
