Sidney Beck Poet Quatrain

Home Fit For a Hero

HOME   FIT   FOR   A   HERO

He was hopping around garden poor thing 
Under the fall leaves  and  in deep grass
One leg  and broken wing
Victim of a cat’s harass

Under assault he survived attack  
My heart was straightway stirred.
Put a big foot on cat’s back   
To  stop it finishing off  the bird.

Grabbed the sparrow as he pecked at me,
Scooped  him  up  into a shoe box 
Lined with fur  and fed crumbs and tea.
No more flying with the flocks.

To Moose Jaw zoo - no cats allowed -
Lots of food scraps  - payment  zero. 
Released  among the friendly crowd :
Home fit for a  flying  hero.
