Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Monorhyme

Waking Up To the Birds

There's a Nuthatch knocking on my door,
Politely asking me for more,
And Chickadees chirping por favor.
The Blue Jays are squawking all out war,
A Crow just told me to do my chore;
There's a ruckus brewing I can't ignore.
The feeder is empty.   The Birds  implore...

I am awakened by my snore.
Is that somebody at my door?
