The Feeder
Cardinals feeding at the trays, enjoying winter meal
abruptly chased off by the Jays, the ones that always steal
Suprising all the Doves still here, grabbing little snacks
Squirrels "butt-in" to get their fill, leaving snowy tracks
Hawks are high up in the trees, Geese are on the ground
Sparrows and the Chickadees barely make a sound
Then the Raccoon comes along, chases Squirrel away
Deer not fazed by him at all, they are there to stay
They snort and stomp until he leaves, happy he has gone
the family knows it's safe to eat, joined now by their Fawn
Then a noise deep in the woods, chased them all away
though wary, they'll return again, to feed another day.....
