The Tackle box Man
That year the earth acted peculiar and parched
the hatchlings screeched in the pulse of darkness
mother bird had nothing much to offer
not one insect, hopper nor crawler.
Mother bird plotted then hatched a wicked plan
to snatch a bag of worms from the tackle box man
Mother stuffed plastic worms into featherless heads
by the next day every last hatchling lay dead.
mother blue bird never sang a lullaby again....
Forever blaming the tacklebox man.
