Roscoe Feeds the Birds

Roscoe Feeds the Birds

By Elton Camp

Roscoe enjoys spreading bird seed
To give pigeons the food they need

To his favorite bench they fly
When they see him passing by

He tosses the seed upon the ground
While a flock gathers all around

One day, the birds seemed strange
In appearance there’d been a change

For no pigeons clamored near
Vultures! Old Roscoe did fear

About the seed they didn’t care
Which gave Roscoe quite a scare

Roscoe decided that he better not
Stay very long in the same spot
