Sharing

City sparrow at my feet
Gives a "chirp" and gives a "peep".
All around the cars do hum;
City sparrow pecks a crumb.

City sparrow, smart and fleet,
Hopping "hop" around my feet,
Nature, you, and man-made, I,
Sharing wealth beneath the sky.

But no laws do make us share;
Were there laws I would not share,
Unless they banned us to some isle----
There, I'd share with you my smile.
