Birds and Bees

T he birds are singing merrily

H ummers sipping happily

E veryone is busy as can be.







B irds nesting in the apple trees

I n magnolia and in cherry trees

R aising babies is the game

D oing what comes naturally.

S wallows nest on porch again. 



A ll the mamas on the nests

N ow each male does what he does best

D awdling and puffing up his chest.



T rees are full of happy sound

H unting treasures in the ground

E nglish sparrows are around.



B umble bees mid flowering trees

E very flower is there to please

E nter now a gentle breeze

S ummer sweetness for the bees.

Joyce, I can see that Carol went more for the "nature aspect" in her contest, which is what you did too. And a great job of it. Congratulations. Luv, Andrea
