A sweet hummingbird gives me great pleasure,
I love their iridescent hovering;
they are a gift from God and a treasure,
how, lovely is their feather covering.
Oh, listen and you can hear their wings beat,
those long bills and longer tongues drinking nectar;
they hover backwards and up-side down- repeat,
hummer is a skilled nectar collector.
There are many kinds of hummers in the world,
vast plumage and sizes- like flying gems;
nothing more stunning that a hummer curled,
at pretty flowers on long swaying stems.
Nothing is more beautiful than a dip
for hummer- then after, a little drip.
