The Not-So-Early Bird

I saw a robin catch a worm Then put it down to watch it squirm. This action was repeated ‘til I guess he’d finally had his fill. With worm held tight, he hopped away, His breakfast snagged, to start his day. Perhaps he was the early bird To which the adage has referred. Yet when I witnessed this, the sun Was past the point when day’s begun And I was even slightly late, So “early’s” open to debate. Though still, the bird and I both did Our morning chore outside, amid The quiet of the city streets, With exercise and tasty treats.
