Bird On a Table

BIRD  ON   A   TABLE

It was his table
He was there first,  before me
He said assertively
Talking,  chirping defianty
Wanting crumbs 
Unwilling to fly away
But ready to do so
In a flash
Heart racing 
Courage and hunger
Friendly but timorous
He   held his ground
As my Goliath hand approached
And dropped a crumb
In front of David
