Catching Breakfast
6 a.m. I watched a robin
As it tugged upon a worm.
When it saw me it was startled
So it dropped it, all a’squirm.
When it knew I posed no danger
It proceeded with its meal,
Thus affirming that the adage
‘Bout the early bird is real.
For a bird it seems that early
Is a goal we can confirm,
But the same does not apply
To that poor breakfast-eaten worm.
