Welcome, Tiny Wren

We wish you every success in building your nest In the small mailbox next to our front door Some might consider you a disruptive pest We wish you every success in building your nest Never has a tiny house wren become our guest, Or, chosen to lodge so close to us before We wish you every success in building your nest In the small mailbox next to our front door. written June 12, 2021

"We wish you every success in building your nest Never has a tiny house wren become our guest," We had one in the newspaper slot of our mailbox one winter, and it made us happy.

They are such sweet little birds...unfortunately, the mailman scared it away. Really pissed me off! He could have put my mail behind the screen door!

Fun triolet! I bet you had as much fun writing it as I had in reading it.

I did, indeed, Jennifer. I first noticed her when I was having my morning coffee but, alas, she didn't stay. I'm pretty sure the mailman spooked her.

This is delightful, Milt.

Thanks so much, Jenna. I have my doubts that she will stay because the mailman will really upset her. But, I'm going to tell her to leave the mail on the porch.
