Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

For the Birds

I almost thought I blew it
‘Cause the birds had disappeared.
However I’d construe it,
They were gone – or so I feared.

But I went and bought some suet
Thinking that might bring them back
And before I even knew it,
They showed up to have a snack.

So before you’re thinking, “Screw it,”
Since your birds are off their seed,
Just some suet oughta do it – 
Fatty feed is what you need!
